MMMiii!

I had planned to quit my job. I’ve said or hinted on it probably more than a dozen times on this blog. I’ve said it to more than a dozen people about these plans. I just wasn’t writing that letter and handing it over to my boss because… I don’t know. I just felt like it was such a hard thing to do. When I finally got the courage to do that, I felt that I had finally jumped over a big hurdle on my way to Freedom. I thought that was the only hurdle. I thought that was the hardest thing regarding this decision.

I was wrong.

Ever since I formally submitted it, the people who thought I was joking is now saying that they’re gonna miss me. Other team leaders are asking me why, and to ‘fess up with my real reason for resigning. My former boss treated me to my favorite hand-pulled noodles and said that since he fed me, he’s going to tear up my resignation letter.

I formally submitted my resignation letter on the 2nd of February, but my team leader asked if I was willing to leave earlier, on the 28th, 4 days before the end of the 30-day notice. I agreed. Doesn’t sound something like they’re willing to let me go? Willing to let me go early, for that matter. And now people are stopping me left and right

They’re trying to stop me but they’re not giving me a good reason to stay. Usually companies who don’t want their employee to leave would at least offer something, right? A payraise, or improvement of processes, a promotion… nothing. Nothing at all. Not that I’m wanting anything. Not that if they throw something at me, I’d just take it. But nothing at all. It’s so sad.

Anyway, one thing that I’m worried about leaving is my gym membership. I’m thinking of asking one of the TLs I gymmed with if she could kind of like have me as her friend so I can continue my gym at least for another 3 months. How I wish I could just have my own workout equipment here at home. I want a treadmill, even the cheapest one that could come with a nordictrack promotion code would do fine. But I guess I’ll have to settle with walking from one place to another now.

Ah… well, I’ll be updating if I get anymore problems about leaving. Today while I was at the gym, my current TL told me that my former TL tore up my resignation letter. I told her I never agreed to any retraction. *sigh* Let’s see how it goes. I really hope she was just joking.
