Day 1

Started the new jobbie today. I don't know if you can say I really started anything, though. I cleaned up and out the crap room. I did so much purging, a bulimic would have been jealous. Got a big pile of stuff to go to Goodwill. Right now the room is just has the old crappy desk and the draft table I used to stamp on with I lived with Hitler, that I haven't used since moving into the condo. Once those get pitched, I will be good to go. Then next week is going to Tampa to actually meet my new boss lady and the big boss lady. I don't think I'm actually going to start any work until the start of week 3.

However today, being a good little worker that I am, I got up at 6 to start cleaning (the real reason for this was because I knew boss lady was going to call and I didn't want it to sound like she woke me up). Fat boy emerged from the bed around 7. I was essentially done with everything by 10am...then I got bored. I texted with Meanie, chatted with Hitler, talked briefly with PPE... I did a little more deconstruction after my laptop arrived (without a power cord). I got everything done today that I was hoping and went to 2 of the 3 office stores to scope out a new desk...and I have NO CLUE what I'm going to do tomorrow, other than go to the 3rd store to look at a desk there and get other office essentials.

While I was chatting with Meanie, Hitler, and PPE, a part of me was wishing I could just stop by the old job just for a bit to shoot the shit and do some busy work. Just to do something. I know, I know...I'm retarded.

A little recap on the last day though.... I got everyone golden ticket presents for my going away. How nice am I???? I leave and I buy presents. So those who hadn't read got Twilight and those who had got the musical score. Again, I'm so nice. And the LIF's sup, because he's read the book and I don't know if the music is his deal, got some chutney, peach jam, English fruit jam, and apple butter. However what was classic with the gift giving was fucking KIA. She unwrapped the book and said fairly loudly and defiantly "I AM NOT READING THIS BOOK!!!" What I wanted to say, but didn't, was "Listen here bitch, I didn't want to get it for you to begin with, but since I was doing something for the whole team I didn't want to be rude and exclude you. Why don't you show some fucking courtesy." Every once in a while my filter shows up and I bite my tongue. And then we were doing group photos, KIA watched and she didn't even come up to take a picture. Whatever. Seriously, she is pathetic. As sad as I was to leave work and leave my team, I am not sad about not seeing her ever again. Her and Licky Lips... I know longer have to hear the shuffle, see the wagging tongue, and the baby talk is no longer. WOO HOO.

Back to the last day... Did the gifts, took a long lunch, and since SuperJ was working a half day, while I was cleaning out my desk, I decided to show some last minute love and decorate her cube. She needed to know I appreciate her, and what better way then a decorating a cube??

It was a mellow day, that I somehow managed to not actually leave work until after 5. I don't know how that was even possible, but it was. Went out with Meanie, Tourettes (be shocked, be very, very shocked) and a new person I've been in cahoots with. It was a fun night overall.

I'm still in denial that I'm not there. It still doesn't seem right.

One day down with working from home...tomorrow: SHOPPING!!!!

Rock out with your purging cock out!!
