Day two of my leave of absence and I spent it cataloging important papers. Felt just like work.
Friday was my last day of paid work and I was overwhelmed with nervous energy. It was surreal to think about not working when I have had a job continuously since 14. The only thing for it was rock music played as loud as I could stand. Picture a frazzled woman with iPod ear buds firmly attached, listening to Nine Inch Nails while moving amongst the unsuspecting suits. (Elvis just wouldn't do in this situation)
My Assistant Linda did a fantastic job planning a going away party at lunch to give the day that bittersweet tinge. Tiki lights, parrots and hula dancers lined the conference room along with the call from all in attendance for "Fair Winds and Following Seas".
When the day was done it hit me that we were finally leaving on this adventure.
If we can get everything packed that is....
Enjoy
