Boring Details of The Exciting Days Ahead
Gave official notice about 2 weeks ago, today is my second-last day at work. My manager's manager has already left, and my manager is at a conference this week but will be back tomorrow for my last day. So I feel really unmotivated at work and I have one last project to do, which is literally to fix everything that the department has refused to adhere to in the last year since we put in a guerilla-created system of coding everything. So I am not going to be entrapped into fixing such an impossible-to-fix task especially if there is nothing in place to prevent this from happening again moving forward. In fact, as I work on this, the order entry and pricing entry members are still not adhering to the codes I put in so this whole project feels like a cluster-f*ck to me.
Another of my closer colleagues is also relocating within Parker to the Chicago area so we are having a shared farewell party on Friday. A group of ladies and I are all going to lunch at a nice restaurant of Thursday so I am looking forward to spending one of my last few Parker hours with them. My asshole General Manager made this comment about me probably needing to come back so I should not burn any bridges and I agreed in a politically-correct manner that it would indeed be nice to come back to Parker in a few years' time. (Under my breath, "when you guys get your act together with your hiring practices and promotion policies!"
I start Monday in Columbus and am really excited. This afternoon I have a call with my manager-to-be Dylan and we will go over some of the first tasks we would be embarking on. I am nervous cus all eyes are on me to see if I would sink or swim and now that the family is relocating, the need to really give an outstanding performance is greater than if I was staying in Cleveland.
The sonner we can move, the better it will be because we would reduce the need for commuting and we can get into the swing of things. Unfortunately, the market in our area is so-so and people are listing their homes with the Spring/Summer season so we have alot of competition. Hopefully, our house is in an appealing enough condition for us to be the leading contender. Right now, we 3 biggest concerns are: 1) Getting house in shape for listing, 2) Can we sell our house?, 3) Naia's new daycare.
Trying not to be stressed as the packages of information from these different sources keep coming in. I daydream of us listing the house, and someone coming in at our asking price 3 days later to buy it . . . .wahhh . . . . . .
