Out with the old, in with the old
This is the next to last day at my old job. I'm on holiday till Jan. 3 then I show up at my new job, then, for reasons beyond my ken, (or is it kin?) I show back up here for one day in early February to sign off on my termination paper work. After that I'm done.
Except that I've agreed, despite my better judgement, to put together a publication for my old job as a consultant, i.e. they pay me a flat fee rather than a salary. The money will be good, but I 'm not going to get that grand sense of closure I was hoping for. I won't pack up my office now till I'm done with the publication. And I'm likely to be involved, despite my better judgment again, with actually getting the publication printed and distributed.
I'm doing it for the money, bacause it's going to be a colorful slick magaziney thing which is fun to put together, and hopefully, to reinforce what a good and capable person I am to my old bosses. Again for reasons beyond my ken.
However, I wish I wasn't. I should have said No. I'm too accomodating. too good and decent of a person. I need to work on my self serving skills. That should be my News Year's Resolution to be more selfish and miserly with my time and energy. To think about me more. To take care of myself better. me, myself and I, me me me me me me.
And you, gentle reader should think about me more too. Include me in your prayers. Chat me up to your friends and loved ones., Introduce me to hot women as that 'way cool stud who blogs sporadically." Send me presents. Whatever you can do for me. Now there's a fine fucking christmas sentiment for you; Do something good for me! That is all.
