Well, this is it.

Went to work, tried to take it like any other day, but it wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. Guess when you’ve worked as long as I have in one place you make connections and form attachments. I always joked about doing my ‘I quit’ dance and all, but I didn’t. No sense burning bridges and all.

Heck, I even tried to thank our site manager… not something I’d normally do but this one was extraordinary… but he brushed me off. I tried telling him that he was the only one of the half dozen I’d dealt with during my tenure that actually learned my name and practised the ‘open door’ policy that so many only pay lip service to. Unfortunately, he brushed me off, saying it was ‘hard’.

Hard? I wanted to ask. Well, how hard do you think it’s been for me (and my co-workers) working for a company that froze my wages, ripped me off on health benefits, or kept me on the job when I should have been on bereivement leave? How hard has it been being refurred to as a ‘body’ they’ve forced to… ARGH!

No! I can’t go there!

What’s done is done and I should focus on posiitive things like staying in touch with the people I care about and finding a job that let’s me feel like I’ve done something constructive or useful.

Yes, I wish my friends and co-workers luck and love. I pray the company and it’s minions… I mean ‘managers’… luck in finding their humanity. Now I need to let it go… be done : )
