So, This Happened Today (Follow up)

I won't keep you in suspense any longer. My last day is next Friday-if I am finished with my project by then, which at this point, who cares if I am or not? I can pass it off to an intern and call it good.

Now, before the bad mouthing begins, my boss told me that he and the other attorney were very happy with the work I've done here and that I've made certain processes a lot easier to go through which helps the entire department, if not the organization. They also pushed pretty hard to get me to be full time but it wasn't in the budget. I have asked for a collaboration letter of reference from both attorneys which they seem happy to provide (I'll have to keep on them if I ever want to see it though...attorneys, I'm tellin' ya, can't trust them to do anything). Also I think a letter of recommendation would be a bonus since after being laid off from Amazon, would give me an extra push.

I could be upset, but I'm not. I'm looking forward to the uncertainty of the future. The things I have accomplished while I've been here have been amazing steps to my growth as a person and growth for my potential career. I've quit smoking, I've decided what I want to be when I grow up, I'm taking a healthier aspect with me mentally as well as physically and while I don't credit the Institute for all of this, it was here that I started feeling like something needed to change and I'm taking those steps to make that change happen.

With nothing to lose, I told my boss about my plan to go back to school and becoming a librarian. He was so supportive of it, which made me feel even more awesome about the contract coming to an end. He's offered another coffee run for next week. I think I might push for a lunch at Roux. Also, after next week, I don't have to clean up after the inefficient intern. I'm brimming with positivity.
