So, today is a very special day, because it is the day that I gave Massage Envy El Cerrito my 2 weeks notice. I finally quit that job, as I have been fantasizing about doing for a whole year.
It's actually not as exciting as I thought it would be, probably because I know I am just going to be starting at M.E. Walnut Creek soon after that, which is essentially the same job. Or, at least, I am expecting it to be much the same, although I don't really know if that expectation will be true. It is exciting to feel like I am finally able to move forward after being stuck for so long, even if the forward movement is only like, a metaphorical inch. It's still movement! I am a little proud of myself, because changing jobs can be kind of stressful and I will have to meet a bunch of new people and get used to a new routine and new work environment, but I am boldly going a head and just doing it, even though it's a little uncomfortable. Go me!
I am kind of excited that, if I am lucky and everyone agrees to it, I will get to have like a week and a half off between my last day at the old job and the first day my first job. This will allow me to go to my aunt's 50's birthday party, have a week off, and then go on my birthday camping trip. In addition to just having some summer vacation time, I think this will provide kind of a period of closure for the old job, and let me start the new job with a fresh outlook.
I should do something to celebrate quitting after work tonight...
