Buh bye

 I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that my exit from my current employer is shockingly cold and disinterested. Not a single person I have worked with for over 3 years offered to take me out to lunch or otherwise say goodbye. There is an "official" goodbye, but my boss sent the wrong day (Tue) along with the date (Oct 30) and never issued a correction (though I mentioned the error to her). At lunch time on Tuesday, someone said something to me about the festivities later, so I finally sent out a correction myself, to clear up the confusion. Awkward af though. And wow, could you more clearly telegraph how little you give a shit about me after I put my heart and soul into this job? Just wow. When I think about how engaged I have been - instigating things, volunteering for things, participating in things. All for what?

I don't suppose this is really a reflection on me - anxiety and apathy are a growth industry at the organization. People stay in their offices, barely speak at meetings or even in the hallways. It's downright depressing. This is the perfect moment to be escaping. 

A friend asked me: "How are you doing? I know you built a life there." LOLOL. I can't wait to leave. The "life" I've been existing in here is so devoid of genuine human connection, it is stunning. Good riddance.
