So this morning I was rather nervous at resigning from work.  Regardless of my gaul here, my out spoken way I am always nervous doing that little deed.
 
However, I decided to do what I'd never done before and stick to a script!  I didn't so much lie as say the whole truth, I didn't so much lie as tell them what they needed to know and nothing more.
 
I left the office feeling calm, happy, knowing that my integrity was in tact as was theirs (if they don't bitch when I'm gone) and all in all I feel amazingly good about my decision.
 
I have two weeks left, really I'm only working another seven days so it will be a breeze to give it all I have while I am there and then, well... depart with a smile on my face.
 
I told two people only, my bestest friend who is a driver at the company - he already knew I was going to this other place, just not when.  I can trust him, and another driver whom has become a very good friend - he's been working there only while his wife is pregnant, when she has the baby he will be going back to his old job as a freight carrier pilot (navigator) his passion is the sea, anyway I'm rambling.
 
The niggling problem I had a week ago is sorting itself out, along with my hb's stress levels which with a very good honest talk last night, he calmed down, realised that life is not that bad.
 
So all in all another skin is being shed, its an analogy I like to use for myself.  When I'm learning, growing, taking on (not in but taking ON) new information and using it to make my life better (fruitful) I call it shedding a skin.
 
I've let go of some behaviour, perspectives, reactions and thinking that were not serving me well, or my life to be honest.  So many little steps making this one big shedding of skin turn me into a shiny person again.  Not new, not reinvention, added extra's with all the goodness.  (lol I like that)
 
Right now I'm hanging out for my friday night, watching the fall out on SBS news with the American bail out, it effects the whole globe, Kevin Rudd (our prime minister) is live, G20 finance ministers (reps from around the globe, western obviously) are being grouped for a meeting concerning the complexities of the bill.  Our interest rate has dropped (yesterday actually) by a whole point, that hasn't happened for ohh about 40 years I think.  Rudds main problem is keeping the Aussie economy and banking situation on a level that will not negatively effect the Aussie battler.  Yarr Right!
 
Many people are wanting to liquidate their assets due to the climate which will mean a down turn from A to Z in our economy.  The Aussie dollar has fallen to a low that we haven't had in a while, only problem is that the US dollar is still worth shit so we aren't out of the woods.
 
Aussie debt levels are huge, so if our dollar falls then there is no competition to raise the value of what we export, we'll still be paying top dollar for imports... god its complex..
 
So rambling, as you can tell I'm happy! so happy in fact I want to just say one thing to all those lovely peoples out there that read me, and respond.
 
Have and AWESOME NIGHT!

    i'm glad that it works smoothly for you lucy...

    well everybody is affected in this economy crisis even my country... but i know we'll get through this... ;-)

    So it went well at work.  Good!  yes, despite ourselves we all manage to grow emotionally.  I like that you recognize that some behaviors don't serve you well and you are willing to let them go.  Some people cling tightly to them, even as they're being dragged down by them.
  • starchini said on Oct 09, 2008....
    what uni said : ) 
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Queenie ~ Thanks.. yeh well hubby and I are okay in all this as we own no property, have no investments.. thank god.  Its just going to get expensive to live thats all.
     
    Uni ~ I don't like feeling bad, stressed, out of sorts and theres only one reason for it. Me, so letting go is the only thing to do sometimes.  I'm trying to be a mature good women. *-}
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Bwa ha ha ha!  Mature! *gasps and holds sides*  Oh goodness!  I hope you never become "mature".  I hope you're always this young and lively.
     
    I do get it about letting go to feel better though.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Glad you get that one.... I'm trying to remind myself especially at the moment with hubbies clients.. let it goo.... let it gooo its difficult when you feel like slapping someone with a shovel though.
     
    Package???
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Lucy - yeah, my hand itches to slap the snot out of people all the time.  Letting go is a pretty recent skill for me and sometimes I'm not real good at it.  I'm like the idiot kid who touches the electric wire on a horse paddock and won't let go.
     
    No package today!!!  I'm about ready to strip search the mail guy.  I don't think his religion would be that keen on it though.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Okay so its Thursday today, tomorrow Friday, if its not there Friday I give you permission to strip search the guy....... now don't forget there are two things in it, if one is missing I'm suing the fucking US mail service.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Lucy - or the handcuffs slipped and the man in the package escaped .......  But I appreciate the idea ;)
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    I know you do, always thinking ahead.  I am serious though, if the second part of the package is not there I have receipts and am taking it to the fucking mail service....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Lucy - I'll let you know the minute it arrives.  Wait!  Can I open this package at work or should I take it out to the car and open it?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Open it at work! damn it don't wait! err hold on... god.. no open it in your car! at work it may be hard to hold back.. you might embarress yourself..
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Okay, now I'm really really really curious.  And I'm impossible to live with when I'm curious. 
     
    Waaaaaa!
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Ohh goodie... I can tease you more..... you can use one of these thingies in the package at work... or at home... no words.. just point your finger.. tee he he hee the second part.. hmmm maybe I shouldn't say so much about that... I reckon you'll think I'm a silly fool.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Too late!  but again, I like that about you.  So, one's respectable enough to use at work?  Hmmmmm.
     
    *stares into space*
     
    So you did send a male secretary.  Just point to what needs kissing.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Hmmm close.. but not close enough.... I wouldn't call it respectable, its far more hilarious than that.  Its almost Bitchy! waa ha ha ha ha
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    OOhhhhhh!  I'm not gonna guess out loud.  I still want to be surprised when I open the package.  I have a fair idea of what at least one thing is.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Don't damn... when does tomorrow come?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    No for another 7 hours and 44 minutes, but the mail won't be delivered for another 18 hours give or take.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Shite postal services.... te he hee you see I am worse than you... impatient to the extent I may just fucking give the ghost away!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Don't you dare!!!  My life is bare of any nice surprises and I'm not gonna let you ruin this one .....
     
    *puts fingers in ears and says "lalalalalala"*
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    I promise I won't... I want to read that you fell off your chair laughing then fell off your chair crying.. I know it will happen.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Lordy!  I'd better open it in my car with my seatbelt on then.  Bring a spare change of clothes in case I pee myself.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Hmm not a bad idea actually.  Make sure the hand breaks on too, ignition off, and windows are up!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    windows up?  I think it would be better off if they were down so I don't drown in tears.  I can always deny the commotion later on.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    he he hee windows down, hope there aren't too many people around.. they may think you're dying....
  • uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Nah!  These people already know I'm crazy.  This will just cement that idea firmly in their heads.
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Well then you've nothing to worry about! just don't say the F word real loud...
  • mobil said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Jesus Lucy you woman blabber. I understand the snake shedding it's skin analogy and quitting the old job, starting a new one.
     
    I did get the tie in with the world economy though, was that just a side thought or are you happy about that?
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Not happy about that.. just rambling and while I was typing this the PM was live on telle rubbing his belly full of shit... anyway.. yeh women blabber..
     
    Thats why I'm here, hubby can't handle it, always telling me to shut my cake hole! te he he he
     
    He doesn't realise there is only one thing that would shut me up....
  • mobil said on Oct 09, 2008....
    What's he stupid?
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
    Maybe not as stupid as you think.... he's afraid I won't give it back! he might be right...
  • mobil said on Oct 09, 2008....
    WOUCH !
  • Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2008....
