In a
curious episode of parrallelism with
kaytay I woke up yesterday with my
contacts still in, all my clothes still on, the lights
burning brightly and my pockets full of crappy plastic
shot glasses.
Im not sure what my students must have made of their lead instructor wearing
sunglasses in class and eating aspirin like they were
m&m's but I was past caring.
It was probably a
bad idea, but in this state I finally made my decision about what to do with my
career. Actually
I kinda made it
cumulatively over the past few days, but today I
bit the bullet and acted upon it. I sent a mail to
OOPL accepting their offer ( for anyone who has been following the
dramatic saga of these daylogs, they are the
smaller company offering less money but hopefully more interesting work ). I was then a little
stumped - I didnt actually have any idea how to go about resigning from
Andersen. In the end I sent an email to my partner explaining my decision and asking what to do next.
He wrote back almost immediately saying I have to write a
formal letter to the
HR department but asking for the opportunity to meet me so that he can 'help me to be sure I am making the
right decision'.
Translation: Try to convince me to stay. I think this is
fair enough, and It would probably be good for me to have a talk with him, So I set it up for the first
Monday after I get back to Australia. I doubt that he will get me to reconsider though. Apart from anything else
I feel like a change.
Later that night I am seized by a sudden
panic attack.
What the hell am I doing? What if resigning is nothing but a
huge mistake? Am I throwing away my only chance to travel? Will I regret this???
sigh I dont like
being responsible for my own life.
