So my fortune cookie says "A chance meeting opens new doors to success and friendship." Guess that was the strange guy on the bus. oops.

So I know I should be feeling some kind of closure (since I am the poster child for closure) but I don't. I can't determine that today is any different than before, and I won't have to get up at 7 to hop a bus to get to work again tomorrow.

I finally got home this afternoon around 3:30, talked to my landlord a bit, and then crashed and watched oprah (men who pay their wives to sleep with them was the theme) for a bit. Mainly I watched Oprah because there was nothing else on our 4 # of reception. Such is life.

There are a lot of things that are still open at the moment - I should probably go hop another bus so I can get to class - we need to go buy a car this week - i need to hurry up and relax, etc. but I don't feel I have enough stamina to finish them. Probably spent too many hours today haggling with my ex-coworkers about the price of the plants. We sold off a lot of the crap at the office today. Mainly so people could get something since the severance wasn't all that great. I'm sure they would not see it that way. :/ On a up note, guru has now gotten a nice graduation gift that I thought I would not be able to give him. I was able to get a pretty good deal on a laptop for him, so he can write, walk, or do both at the same time. Now, I did pay for it, but I paid for it about 30 minutes before anyone showed up. I also picked up an additional desk chair and a coffee maker. (both of which I was personally involved in picking out for the office in the first place.) I didn't walk off with much else (forgot to grab my wrist rest. ) but I think I got what was important to me. I didn't even bid on the automatic espresso machine. :(

On the whole the guy from sherwood (liquidator) was an alright guy. He took the situation in stried and I think I was only nasty to him once or twice. >:> Probably out of line there, but
I just couldn't help it. It was mainly in situations that he had to verify what I was telling him. I don't envy his job.

Over all, I had less sympathy for my coworkers then I did for the cfo. He is probably the only executive officer I have ever met and worked for that I trusted. If you can, give this man a job. (sorry, no other good link) I don't always feel that people appreciated that.

I also give a big thumbs up to my boss JJ, who was very understanding and cool about many of my escapades and for the most part took my word for it. (except when I'm glad she questioned) She not only sent a "parting gift" with lf, but also gave me a call yesterday evening to say "goodbye." (this in comparison with the voice mail I got from the president of teh ex-company with 5 minutes of "sorry I blew up your company" to ask if I had seen lf. ) This is just a small view of the gen admin group. All around it was a great gen admin group to work with. I hope they all have good luck in the future.

Future. I've heard of this. I should find me some.
