- As you might imagine this was a weird week, being the week I had my last days at my job where I've been working for more than ten years!
- Saturday I spent mostly processing the stuff I inherited from the office move, most notably a computer that I had to hook up and add to the stuff in my office (because I'm using it in addition to, not instead of, my existing computer). I also rooted out some stuff for donation 'cause I guess I'm in a purging mood, and I did some job applications and some blogging.
- Sunday I did some roommate stuff for Mom, learned a song on ukulele, did karaoke online, and made a writing video. Did some laundry and some drawings too.
- Monday I had a glitch with bringing my stuff to the donation truck: it wasn't there. So I had to take my stuff home again and then go to work and it made me late on my next-to-last day. I helped with a little more unpacking at the temp office space and did some actual work on a report and updated some e-mail signatures and business cards too. Then I went grocery shopping, came home, and drew some pictures. A new Steven Universe episode was on so I made art about it.
- Tuesday was my last day at the office and there's not a lot to say. I wrapped up some things, had my exit interview and signed a release accepting my severance package, and also had a phone interview with a potential new job. My boss got me a pie and we all ate it together before I left for the last time as an employee. Waaah! My mom came over to drink wine with me, and I drew some pictures. The next episode in the Steven Universe marathon was on so I made more art. Oh, and I managed to find a different place to donate the stuff I couldn't donate on Monday.
- Wednesday was my first day being officially unemployed and it began with my being awakened by the FedEx guy delivering my severance money. Hot damn! I paid bills, washed dishes and cleaned up, and finished a drawing. Then went to meet Jeaux at IHOP where I got free pancakes. Then Jeaux helped me install video editing software on the new computer and it works! Hopefully I'll be able to edit my videos more easily now.
- Thursday I lounged around drinking coffee and took a clerical test online that I'd been invited to complete for a job position. I passed the test. Then I processed a video that Meggie and I had made when she visited last month, and I redecorated for late winter. I got a phone call from another engineering company similar to the one where I worked all those years, and they have a position open for someone like me so I arranged an interview for it for next week. Yay! Then I chatted with Victor on the phone while doing my webcomic drawings.
- Friday was nice and chill. Did some more job stuff, started trying to clean out my e-mail that I've been ignoring (I'm working on it, guys!), got some reading in, and processed my webcomic. I got my video subtitled and posted, too. Everything's pretty good considering I don't have a job.
