I can often tell how busy my day was with ordinary sorts of things by the decided lasck of photos. Today, the only pic I took was to identify a weevil with my bug app. Pretty exciting, right? Actually, I wasn’t far into my day when I received a distress call and rushed to my new client whose contract was there to be signed. Smart cookie, he was. He got me to sign the contract and then told me his payroll was in limbo due to an employee who was MIA. I had rushed over for info and assistance and then realized my day was getting complicated so came home again to finish up the payroll and files i was in the middle of. I then returned to the external client and spent 5 hours trying to understand the situation, follow the rabbit trail and get all bills as well as payroll done. by 8:15 it was done. I am worn out. My friend made me dinner and we played some fun card games before I came home to lick my wounds and gather my thoughts about tomorrow.
Over cards I got emotional, even eye-leaked a little as I realized how much it mattered that tomorrow may realistically be the last day of my employed career for life and it is about to go unrecognized. It seems that my leaving the firm has been so seamless, no one seems to care. I will get over it but for now I am sad and a part of me wants to respond inappropriately, but I won’t.
It will be just another last day of the month to them but for me, like many other things about 2020, I will remember 06-30-20 for what it was… the last day of ‘the man’
Here’s to all the future days of ‘the woman’
