can't sleep
Next week, I have my last four days at my job. I haven't posted about this publicly anywhere else, yet. Next week is mostly going to be writing up documentation and transferring my projects as best I can into the care of others.
I'm really dreading the conversations about why I'm leaving. I've hashed out several versions (what my mom is calling "Pollyanna" versions) so I can have a conversation that last more than thirty seconds when my coworkers of 3 years ask me what I'm doing next, why I'm leaving.
I would guess that most of them really know, but we Won't Talk About It.
I have an exit interview scheduled with the two administrators that I think it will be most effective to talk to. I have a one-on-one with my direct supervisor, but I have made sure she will not be at the meeting with the other administrators.
I can't stop thinking through these conversations in my head. I keep thinking I need to write up an outline of notes so I don't forget anything. I'm still trying to figure out which points are the most important ones to bring up in my one hour of exit interview time.
I keep writing documentation in my head but I keep preventing myself from sitting down and actually doing it until I am sitting at work, getting actually-paid to do this shit. I am trying to let it go, I know that I won't *forget* what I need to say, I can't stop thinking about it... It will be easy to pour it all out of my head when the time comes.
I deliberately rarely talk about my job; I know most of you don't know where I work -- that's on purpose. I like to have a fairly strong separation between my personal life and my work life. But, I did connect some of my professional social media to workplace people, and I need to figure out how I want to untangle that.
I don't want to see any of these people again, with about 3 exceptions. I've never had a job where I felt so strongly that I needed to cut all ties with all of them. But I think I will wait to start blocking people until after my last day. I don't need to make my last week any harder than it already will be.
I can fake it for four days.
