Of Closure and Inspiration.

I resigned today, guys.
It is also my last day.

I've been in Company Random Letter A for the last 2 years 3 months. My last stint was 5 years in Company Random Letter X. I have no idea when and whether I will be in Company Random Letter E, F, G, H, T.

Mixed feelings overhelmed me ... the sadness to leave the people I have grown to love, to be at liberty to exercise the right of choice, the chagrin to be a participant in the ritualistic frogmarch, developing a sanguine outlook to close off pertinent matters and a sudden helplessness to not know what to do next at 4pm.

Go home?
Celebrate with a dollop of Cookie Dough Dynamo?
Release my exploding bladder at a public toilet (quite dirty hor) at Far East Square for the first time in 2 years?
Call more friends in the area up for tea?

This is a contemplative period for me as things are going to be very different. Changes in status, changes in choice, changes in lifestyle.

Now that I have low/no income ... I can take buses!
Now that I have no meetings ... I don't have to wear make-up!
Now that I have time on my hand ... I can see Shea up and down her schoolbus!
Now that I have no stalkers ... I don't need to check my caller ID before answering calls!

I picked up something from an inspiring Latin spouting Indian man today and I will quote it:

In the essentials, there is unity.
In the non-essentials, there is diversity.
In everything, there is charity.

I also picked up something from a very uninspiring source today in a moment of awkward silence and since it is surface-chat extreme, I will also quote it:

"For small talk's sake ...I'll let you know that I did XXX yesterday."

Wow ... Well done to you both yo!
Good learnings are to be picked up from everywhere!
