Just me blowing off steam about my now ex-employer

Mar 12, 2009 11:57

I am in the middle of an unexpected two weeks off from work. Last week I came down with an absolutely nasty sinus infection, and had been offered a position at another place, and wound up resigning by email. I hated to do it that way, but several people I know had been hit by this virus and were out of action for days. I also, in the email, ( Read more... )

Walk away and don't look back. Don't worry about what they might try to blame on you now that you're gone. Consider yourself done with the place. In light of their attitude towards you leaving (and then the whole work in the binder issue) I wouldn't even waste my time wondering what they might say is your fault down the road. Screw them. You had the chance to get out and did it

I hope you're feeling better! Being sick sucks.

I've been telling myself that. It's always easier to think that way than to feel that way, though! (If you know what I mean.)

I do feel better! I hope this stupid virus doesn't make its way east to everyone else. Fiance missed 4 days of work with bronchitis and when he did make it in, his co-workers tried to talk him into going back home. That's another thing frustrating me, though. When I realized I had over two weeks before I had to start my new job, I figured I'd get over the virus in a couple of days, then start tackling projects I always put off for lack of time, and try out some TV shows that have been recommended to me, and even pull out a couple of story drafts and try to finish them. That was last Thursday. All I've managed to get done is to organize some files on the computer. And wash underwear, because I was going to have to wear dirty underwear if I didn't. Blech. At least I'm finally getting energy back, so the next 10 days hopefully won't all go to waste!!!

What's with the bronchitis? I've never had it and then while I was in South Africa I got hit with it...as did 1/4 of the wedding party.

Hey, of all the things to get done, washing underwear should always be at the top of the list :-) Sorry to hear you were sick for so long and that it took so much out of you. **positive vibes**
