One work day to go!
I am currently sipping on Gin and Juice (Snoop Dogg reference intended) and thinking about what the future holds. Tomorrow I will go into work, pack up my desk, say my goodbyes and try to do as little actual work as possible. It's a totally surreal feeling. I certainly don't feel like I won't have a job at 5pm tomorrow, and I don't think it will really sink in until next Monday morning when I wake up at the grand ol' time of whenever-the-hell-I-like.
The Man is my bitch until further notice.
Fo' shizzle.

Internal dialogue:

You can’t write you’re blog you are at work.
But this is my third last day, I shouldn’t be doing anything at work anyway.
YOU HAVE HEAPS TO DO BEFORE YOU LEAVE
Who cares.
I should eat something.
God I am tired… why am I always tired?
I should eat something.
Maaaaan, I am gonna get fat with all this constant eating.

The Big Reveal
Ok, so I can now reveal that I am Kate Jacobson, Brisbane resident, non-smoker, virgo, animal-lover, middle-child, member of 'Texas Tea' (www.myspace.com/texasteaband) and recently added member of 'Seja' (www.myspace.com/sejamusic). This probably fairly underwhelming for anyone who doesn't already know me... "Kate who???" I hear approximately 3 and a half of you ask.
Anyhow, I had to remain anonomous for reasons previously explained and I thought you might like to know who I was eventually, so there you go.
Additional information:
Seja is the band that will be touring nationally, it is with none other than.... *drum roll puhlease*.... Sarah Blasko.
Texas Tea is the band going to France.
In other news, I have realised that THERE ARE ONLY TWO MORE PAYCHECKS UNTIL I AM UNEMPLOYED.
oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god.

Sealing my own fate...
So today my work posted as advertisment to replace me. Not before offering me the 12 weeks off, more money, and the job title I've always wanted, mind you. They even made me press the upload button on the Seek ad just to make sure I was certain. I must say, it was VERY tempting considering I have been particularly worried this week about how I am going to sustain financially. Call me crazy but I feel like the whole experience would be so different if I had a commitment waiting for me at the end of it.
This could be a very stupid decision. I don't know. Confused.

She's a goner
Right. SORRY SORRY for no update on what happened. I am too busy even to manage my own blog.
So... I went in on Friday, printed out 3 copies of my resignation letter and waited for the Management Team to get out of their daily important-people-catch-up. They were taking a particularly long time on this occasion which did nothing for the butterflies straight from hell that decided to relocate to my gut. My tactic was this: wait till my main Manager got back from her desk, tell her that I needed to show her something, THEN lead her to the HR Managers desk where I would then quickly whisk them into the nearest meeting room.
As soon as I hit the HR Managers desk they both knew something was up. I sat them both down and told them that they had to read the letter because I was too nervous to talk. They both asked if I was resigning before even opening the document. I said nothing.
My direct boss read the letter out loud. It was short and sweet. It detailed the nature of why I was leaving and the reasons why I had decided to go ahead and take the leap. They couldn't really argue with what I had explained and after getting through the letter they both knew that there was no talking me around. They told me that they would like me to contact them as soon as I am looking for work again and naturally I was pretty surprised. As you already know, I was pretty nervous about what the outcome would be in this situation and was even prepared to be 'walked' from the building. Seems I got 'em on a good day. There's a tip for all you folk out there wanting to quit your jobs, do it on a Friday. Fridays get better results! Everybody loves Fridays! People are even better looking on Fridays (not that that will help with your job quitting situation, but it is good to know).
I must say, I had a tear in me eye when I handed in my notice. I do really love my job and I have a lot of great friends at my workplace. Some of which are now probably catching up on this blog, sorry for leaving you out until now friends, just couldn't take the chance.
So that's it. Into the mthrfkn wild!

Quitter
Today is the day.
I am going to walk into work in 30mins and tell them that I am resigning.
I'm absolutely certain that they have no idea.
Oh my.

It's not you, it's me...
Ok, so I wrote my resignation letter tonight. Handing it in to the bosses Friday morning. Oh my...
This is all made worse by the fact that my bosses keep saying things like; 'Oh, we'll take you to Sydney next year Kate", "Why don't you want one of the new uniform dresses Kate?", "We want to employ someone like you who doesn't let their music get in the way of work Kate".
It feels like when you want to break up with someone but they keep referring to your future together. You know you are about to kick them in the balls, and they have no idea it's coming.
