After one last glance at my idol’s (aheheh) site… I finally found the courage to type my resignation letter and forward it to my boss. I wanted my letter to be informal and personal… maybe, when all is settled, I might just share it with you guys. Well, anyways, I sent the letter via email, which is, again, pretty unconventional. Then I found out that she is leaving in a little while so I asked my good pal Patty to tell her to read her email first. And so she did… actually, just the thought of her reading my letter brought chills to my bones. I was anxious and restless… I wanted to know her reaction… I wanted to know that everything is OK and that she would not storm out of her nook and shout obscenities at me… Thankfully, the first few hours after that dreadful submission were peaceful… I heard she went on with her appointment and everything seemed to be pretty normal.
Then, all of a sudden, Joy (a fellow ‘quitter’ hehehe), went to see me and told me the shocking (well, it was shocking initially heheh) news. Instead of May 30 being our last reporting day, she apparently announced that our last day shall be on Friday, May 22! Of course, I was alarmed… For one, I pondered on the idea that she must really be upset so she wants us to depart the premises as soon as we can… this is not a good thought for me because I do not want to leave this company with a heavy heart. I mean… come on… it has been my second home for the last 7 years… It’s not a good time to start burning bridges…
Well anyways, I went to see her… Surprisingly, she welcomed me warmly and asked me to get a chair… On her laptop screen was my letter. Hmmm… from the looks of it she seems OK. And she was, really… Anyway, we started to talk and I told her that Iwant to leave with the ‘good times’ in my heart. She said she isn’t upset… disappointed probably because of the fact that classes start in less than 3 weeks… But then we chatted for a while until finally, I said goodbye.
Even though the reason for our ‘expulsion’ hehehe had been somewhat clear to me, my thoughts linger on other possible explanations as to why she asked us to leave at an earlier date… Anyway, for my peace of mind, I chose to believe what she said… that’s easier and more bearable.
