Well, my first official day of unemployment was today, as yesterday was a public holiday. I'd say it was a success. I woke up at 8am, had some peanut butter on toast while I chopped vegetable...

---

I didn't realise at first, but I had my usual Sunday night depression last night. I had been attributing the slump to the thought of a week of work ahead of me, but perhaps that wasn't right. ...

---

As I continue to wait for M to get back to me about my departure date, I can't help but feel stupid, yet again. I've just received a wonderful farewell from my work colleagues, who have (nearly...

---

My first day of unemployment has been successful so far. I woke up around 7am, had a slice of leftover cake for breakfast, and headed to the shops. That took me about 40 minutes, and I am now b...

---

More to come later. I am super-duper tired and just need to CHILL right now.

---

One lousy day of work left. I can't effing believe it, and I can't wait. Another fairly shitty day work-wise. Just far too much going on, we're short staffed two secretaries, my boss is offi...

---

Two lousy days of work left. Let's go already, I just want it over and done with. Tomorrow we are doing a big farewell lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant. I am feeling (only slightly) guilty...

---

Three days of work left. Today was very busy and I held on by my finger tips. Said goodbye to Renee from accounts. That made me teary. Not sure what I want to eat for dinner, but I'm pretty...

---

Four days of work left. Got absolutely hammered with work today, including some from the senior partner, simply because my desk looked neat and he assumed I had nothing to do! Actually, I spent...

---

I really am sleeping like shit. Waking up with an aching neck, never feeling rested. Horrible dreams last night that I was being beaten and then chased by a rapist. Dragged my ass out of bed...

---

Just a brief entry before I crash out in bed. Today I got up around 8am and rode my bike to Westfield and back (26km/16.2 miles). While I was there I bought a top to wear in the evening ($12) a...

---

Five more work days. This time in one week, I will be roaring drunk at the pub. I just want it all over with, to be honest. I'm flattered, but I don't really enjoy the fuss. I am sick to deat...

---

Six days of work left. I am overwhelmed by the office manager's efforts to organise a farewell lunch for me, plus drinks at the pub that night, on top of the casual drinks I had invited everyone...

---

Seven days of work left. I am feeling impatient now, just wanting it to be over. At least tomorrow is Thursday, the worst part of the week is over, and it's the downhill run to the weekend. My...

---

Dad politely texted me tonight and asked if he could call me. I texted back that it was fine. I mean, sure, Dad. You were meant to call me over two weeks ago to discuss your wife sending me cr...

---

Nine days of work left. Am feeling anxious today, because M is so slow at feeding me information. I want to know what date I am leaving. I won't risk going ahead and booking something, because...

---

It's time to stop grumbling over my parents' failures. I am old enough to forge my own way in life (and have been old enough for some time now). I decide how much bearing they have on my life. ...

---

I feel as though things are so unfair. I am missing out on so much, I am wasting my life sitting in this stinking house, etc. But it could be so much worse. I will only have to wait 11 or so m...

---

Last day working with my best-work-friend today. We shed some tears when it came to home time (which was actually closer to 7pm, and not 5pm). God, I will miss her. She is on annual leave for ...

---

Had a fairly crappy day. One of my solicitors got her knickers in a knot over a sale of business that was settling today when she realised that she had no idea what she was doing or how to actua...

---

Still here. Twelve days of work to go. Shipping out two more boxes tomorrow. Or the next day. The order form said that placing your delivery order after 2pm meant it automatically gets bump...

---

I have, without thinking about it, spent too much money this weekend. Doesn't really matter, though. Got a new hair straightener (can't remember if I mentioned this already - it was $68, marked...

---

Fifteen days of work remain. My close friend at work is very sad that we only have five days left together - she will be in Hawaii for the last two weeks that I am there. That's actually why I ...

---

I am in a world of pain after pump class last night. I used my same weights the entire way through, except that I bumped up my bicep weights in line with what they suggest (you can use any weigh...

---

Eighteen days of work left to go. I handed in my formal resignation letter yesterday. So I got an email from M, at 4:30am his time. Don't be mistaken, there have been other small emails here ...
