After 6888 days at one job, the day is finally arriving tomorrow when I will not need to wake up at 6am and fight the traffic to head to the office.  It took its sweet time getting here, but as I sit and type this, it really hasn’t sunk in that I will be out of the rat race at least until December 31st of this year, when the severance payments stop and I am on my own, as far as income is concerned.  It is both exciting and scary at the same time looking into the unknown and wondering just how I will feel when I walk out of the door for the very last time and not see the people, some whom I have seen and have driven me absolutely insane with their inability to operate a computer for all of those days.  Will it be relief?  Will I rush down the stairs, into the parking lot, start my car and leave skid marks on the asphalt?  Or will I sneak out of there, avoiding as many people as I can?  We shall soon find out.

Wish me luck as I dive deep into self employment.
