Whatever it is, that’s the line I’m walking.
Because…
I gave notice at work today.
I am absolutely 100% sure this is the right decision.
I am also scared shitless and going insane with the details. You’d think quitting a job would be simple, but no. Have you ever tried to account for every single thing that you do with the intention of passing it off to someone else? The amount of tribal knowledge I have amassed in two years here is roughly equivalent to… well, to the amount that I had when I left my last company, and that led to my replacement stalking me for six months after I left.
Maybe I should explain that to my current company and see if they’ll give me a big raise instead….
NO. I’m done. I’m leaving. I’m so fucking excited.
Also?
Since I’m planning on having a TON of time between school and Emma Consulting and this blog and the novel that’s languishing away somewhere, my bestie Laura and I are starting a blog together.
It’s called The Road More Travelled – because what have you done with your life? Are you travelling those mysterious untrodden paths? If you are, you’re fabulous and I’d love to hear all about it. I’m not. Neither is Laura. What she is is hilariously insightful, and I’m really excited to share space with her.
It will be up and running next Monday, so don’t worry if you forget – I’ll remind you again 
. Because I’ll be unemployed. And have nothing better to do.
Ahhhh with the accounting for everything you do. I just did that at my job before I moved and holy crap.
Right?
Did you make things up?
I’m a little tempted to tell my coworkers that from 12-1 every day I have a lunch meeting with the CEO and that one of them is TOTALLY going to need to start doing that.
Good for you Emma.
Ok, so you probably don’t remember me, but we worked at your prior employer together, me in accounting doing the commissions (ask QueenB if you really don’t remember). I’ve had your cupcakes, fab! Though I require gluten free now, bummer. You lived near me and I would see you on the way to work all the time.
I’m excited for you, can’t wait to see what happens.
PS – love your blog.
Of course I remember you! SO nice to hear from you
. I do make some tasty gluten free cupcakes now…
As your father, and one who NEVER let a little thing like a job stop me from wondering what was around the corner, I am both scared, and proud. I’m sure you’ll be fine (and besides, there is plenty of room for a cot here somewhere – hee hee). – D
