Telling the boss . . . . .

all the way to work, i feel sick to my stomach, it is the middle of the busy season - and i am leaving in 3 weeks (2 if he wants me to use my vacation time up). I almost puked, i swear. Getting to work was a 2 hour blur.

I told one of my co-workers first - the one that means so much to me, and the one i really miss, not that i dont miss them all, but he is my special friend.

Then I asked the boss for 2 mins of his time. I sat in the chair opposite his desk, sweating, shaking, nauseous, and couldnt look him in the eyes. "i am leaving" i told him. He just looked at me and asked when. "end of July" i said, "but i am willing to finish out the season for you, i will finish what i started" Then a long pause - oh crap, he is mad i thought. but no, he was pleased for me, he said he was 50% mad and 50% happy, but there was nowhere else for me to go in the company and this was a good move. PHEW - that was easier than i had imagined.
