The days are numbered January 11, 2006
I’ve just spoken to my boss.
He has asked for my end date to be the end of Feb because I’m working on a Big Important project that goes live in early March.
It’s not as soon as I would have liked or expected and it means that Mark & I won’t get a chance to go away before he goes back to uni, but I can live with it.
It will add an extra month to my payout, which won’t be a huge amount, but it will be something. And I can put the Big Important project on my resume, which should impress some people.
Once I have confirmation that HR are OK with the requested date I’ll start contacting agencies and getting a sense of the ebb and flow of positions. That will help me decide exactly how long I want to have off before jumping back into the ratrace.
I really do feel better about almost everything when I have a timeline to work with.
I think it’s great that you have a date to work with. Now that you have a timeline it means you can literally count the days. On top of that someone has looked into your situation and behaved in a reasonably grow up fashion about it.
Good that you have something definite now. You can actually make plans, which is a very good thing too.
may i say “Congratulations!” It’s nice to have a plan.
This is good news.
