And Nothing But The Truth

So I am unemployed.

Which isn't nearly as dire as it sounds. Current policy at the old company is that is anyone gives notice to move to a competitor, they are released immediately. Last week I was given an offer at a smaller company to be a big fish in a tiny pond, rather than a teeny, tiny, baby fish in an ocean. It was tempting so I gave my notice yesterday. Professional to the point.

This afternoon I got a call asking me to meet up and turn in my computer, badge, and passkey. New company doesn't mind if I start early, so next Monday is ok, but in the meantime I have a couple of days off. I think I shall stay up extra late tonight, sleep in, wake up late, and then call all my ex-coworkers to rub it in.

One of the fabulous changes in the new job, I will never again have to sell cheap, oaky chardonnay. Amen.
