Breathe

I'm so excited to be leaving, my energy level is up higher than it has been in a long time. Today is my last full day here, and I've got a lot of loose strings to tie up. I have this cursed work ethic that just won't let me leave this job in a state of disarray. It's unfortunate, however, that no matter how much I cleaned it up, matabang kalabaw would fuck it up. I can't believe her. If you gave her a color-by-numbers to complete, she would still find a way to mess it up.

There was a PMC (Project Management Committee) meeting yesterday in which many people were completely disgusted with the Veep and how he's been handling his department. They specifically included the publishing group, and named me personally. They said that it was a shame to let me go so easily without any sort of explanation. They asked the Veep if I had given him a reason, and he said no. Hahahahahahahahaha. They asked him why he hadn't asked for a reason, and he had no answer. Hahahahahahahahaha. I realize this is mostly juvenile, and revenge is not always healthy, but it's nice. Turns out that neither the Veep nor the matabang kalabaw are destined for any sort of long term stay here. Can we say 30 days? Hahahahahahaha.

I will miss working with the people from the UK, however. BA is here right now, and she's always a lot of fun. DH wrote me and said pretty much the same thing, that it's a shame, and how will we get on with you gone? And oh, please, people, I know I'm good, but come on. No one is irreplaceable. It's just going to be a bit bumpy for a while.

Had an extraordinary afternoon yesterday. I went to lunch with dear friend Ken. We sat and talked for hours. I wish we had more time together. He is a healing force in my life and such a good friend. I am so lucky that he gave me the chance to prove that I wasn't a snobby bitch. (Long story.) I'm not really. I may appear to be aloof, but in reality, once the ice is broken, I do think I'm a pretty nice guy. Just don't cross me. :)

That's all for now. I'm sure today is going to be exhilarating.

I was silly enough to write this at 10:22 AM
