It’s official! Well, it’s been official since Monday when I told my boss, but I feel like I can talk about it publicly, now that I’ve told my team and a few fairly close cow-orkers.
I’ve quit. After ~12 years at the same company, I’m moving on. It’s weird, i can still clearly remember being the new kid in the team, full of enthusiasm and with all the subtlety of a Bush in China. Now I find myself as the old dog in the department, finally stepping off the stage.
Right now, I don’t have any concrete plans for the future. I’ve promised myself I won’t take another job in high tech for at least six months. I’m taking a class in Table Shiatsu at De Anza College, and I’m a TA in the Fundamentals of Massage class at BTC. I’ve got some traveling plans in the works, including a big tour of northern Europe, and some vague plans about a big US – Canada roadtrip. But that’s about it. Maybe I’ll get some piercings and work in a coffeeshop. Dunno. One of my long-term career ambitions has been to drive the submarine at DisneyLand, but I just found out they’ve closed that ride. Sigh.
My last day is a week from Friday. Should be an interesting journey. 🙂
