One Year Anniversary
I just realized it's been exactly one year since I walked out of my previous employment. Exactly one year. Maybe a year and a couple of hours. I think I left just before lunch.
I won't go into the details of it, hell, I'm not even sure I can remember all of it.
I remember deciding that there was no other way. Resigning would mean sitting through another 3 months of hell before finding heaven, and didn't seem like an option. I should've resigned as soon as the shit started hitting the fan.
Some people here still service my previous employment. Nobody ever brought up the walking out. Good.
Fact of the matter is, I just left. I made the decision, got up, walked down to the reception, said goodbye to the receptionist, got into my car, and drove away.
I've never been back since.
After about three hours they realized I was gone, and the calls started coming in. I switched off my phone and went straight to my friend Saifuls' house.
That night, I had the first decent nights rest in months. When I woke up I didn't realize it was 4pm. Everyone thought I'd killed myself.
The backlash was even worse, followed by a few months of hell from my parents, which I could've done without. It kinda stings when your dad tells you you have to be strong and face whatever challenge. If he had a day of the shit I had to go through in that office in the year 2003, I think he'd probably have a stroke.
I wish I could tell you more, but I think I'll leave it at that.
...
Hmmm. Not that funny or interesting, isn't it? Well fuck off, then. You want hillarious, imagine a penguin trying to fellate itself.
THAT's hillarious.

Hey J! I give you so much credit. It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. I found myself in the same position a couple of years ago. I ended up giving a month notice because I absolutely adored my boss. I was on the executive floor after receiving a promotion a short time before and I realized it was all crap and a soul killing experience. You have to do things for yourself. You have to reinvent yourself... get your energy levels back up and live life for yourself. I am in my 30's now...a good few years down the road from you...but I can safely say that I will always believe that you have to dare to live and dare to change. Keep that always in your spirit. Mmmmm... Now back to that Subway Sandwich! ;-)
