Phew, head still spinning a bit.
ar81, I probably am still a 'bit' confused, mostly because I just lost my identity for the last year....which has been 'I am going to quit and do my own thing'. So now I am feeling out this new identity 'wow, I have quit, and I AM doing my own thing for REAL now'. I am not in a rush to make anymore decisions, I am focusing on completing my work tasks and getting out of here with a clean slate in 3.5 weeks.
So far the few folks I have told at work, I have all gotten 'congrats and I am jealous' comments. I am hoping to inspire other cubicle dwellers maybe down the road to do the same
Thanks for all the words of encouragement.
