So they showed me the door yesterday. Apparently they were concerned that I was bad for morale. Shortly after I resigned, another one of my crew went with me. Yeah, that's how my ppl roll. If his ten key needed an ink cartridge, I was already in the supply room. I knew they'd do the same if it was my adding machine malfunctioning.
They spun it to the rest of the office by telling everybody that I wanted to leave so they decided to let me go home early. I didn't realize until I got home that HR's letter had magically superceded my resignation letter and transformed it into a termination letter! Hey bitch, you didn't dump me, I dumped you! You can't preemptively dump me, I already dumped you. You're living in a delusion.
I've tried reminding myself why I quit in the first place, and of all the benefits I have to gain from escaping the clutches of corporate socialism. I repeat it constantly. It's OCD though. No matter how many times those crazy fuckers count locks or wash their hands, they still don't feel clean or safe.
Tomorrow, I am getting my blood. My last fillup until I find another job that provides health benefits. I'm going to make it something fun. Before everybody got caught up in making money and being wealthy, people used to mean more to each other than dollars and cents. They would do things rather than work or shop.
I wanted to write a blog about this because everytime I hear on tv or radio about somebody who lost or quit their job and had the opportunity to do what they wanted to do. All of those stories had happy endings.

It's funny how often you use the word "they" in the Orwellian sense. Who's "they"? Oh, yeah, it's The Man. Kudos to you, man, you stuck it to The Man. Unfortunately, The Man tried to poke you back.
You got out while you are still (relatively) young and still have your morals straight. Better things are coming your way. Some words of advice--I think now's the time to come up with an action plan, like rolling over your 401K plan and figuring out how to use the city's free health care. Best to you.
