with the company.
Dec 20 was our Christmas party and I had the pleasure of providing a 3-week notice with only having to serve 8 days of it. The new post company actually told me how to do this and have it actually work out. I spoke with 53-E this day and let him know I was leaving. TMIII-CC had to call TT admin into his office to set my resignation in motion. I figured she would tell everyone because she has previously violated my employment privacy, and if not her then DDBB because he really has a big mouth and neither one seem to know (care) about employee privacy.
I have been wondering if I should say anything to TwoNewbie but the way he has treated me he really didn't deserve or earn my respect. He talks nonsense about everyone ALL the time and I did not want to be fodder although I suspected that he and L2 already knew. They acted surprised - but not much. I did get to quietly say goodbye to 37-1O, shake his hand and he said to call him on occasion.
L2 was funny about the whole thing when he saw that I was turning in my phone, keys and id to CC. and that it was my last day. He said,"no, no. I wasn't that mean yesterday!!" It was funny and we all laughed. L2 asked me where I was going and I said on a new and terrifying adventure. I shook his hand and said goodbye. He told me to keep in touch and I said ok. I asked CC what coats he needed and he said none.
As I walked out of the office to throw things out of my locker away, 69-A came into the office wondering what all the sad looks were about. I walked out and into my P58 bay where our lockers are. I had previously and casually unlocked my lockers and placed the locks in my lunch bag. TwoNewbie saw me do this so I figured he suspected but I did it so casually I don't think he realized. I then walked to my locker and threw my hard hat out and my old boots I use for crack sealing out and my old gloves out. I had asked CC in the office if he wanted my coats and such and he said no so I put those in my bag. TwoNewbie said why are your throwing your hard-hat out? You're gonna need it. I said it's my last day today. He said what you're kidding.
No. not kidding. TwoNewbie then asked why and I informed him that I have been treated very badly here. I shook his hand and said goodbye.
37-RL was standing by him and said what? I said again that today was my last day. TwoNewbie did seem surprised. I then thanked RL for all the help he gave me when SA retired (who by the way passed on Christmas Day this year. Geez, two years retired and already gone seems such little time for him.). RL said no problem. Yeah, don't be fooled by him either he's really mean too but he did help me a lot. He sabatoged my truck and hid the keys to his one-ton so I couldn't use it when my one-ton was broke.
I walked out and left. For the past four weeks I have had little thoughts of this is the last time I will do this action. Like: I will never plow snow again, which makes me sad as I was really really good at it. I was good as a tandem asphalt driver too. Last time for a blade change, thank God!! as TwoNewbie and L2 go through the blades like water and they are heavy, awkward and dangerous to change. And 5 each that's a lot!! 4 too many.
We were supposed to leave early today at 16:00 but the only one leaving was me at 16:15. So long you meanies. I made sure they could all hear my car leave. It was fun.
Cheers and send me all the news,
L
