So I woke up with a stomach ache because I had a dream about work and I realized that I needed to shit or get off the pot today regarding the decision making. SJ starts a big rape trial tomorrow and the week after that Jennifer and I have a big divorce trial, and then her last day is the last day of that trial, so I had to make it today. I had decided over the weekend that I am leaving here to go start a new office with Jennifer.
I figured I would have to go in and talk to him or do a memo today to get it out there, but when I got here, April said he was asking her if I had said anything yet, and I told her then what I had decided. No more than 3 minutes later, he walks by and asks her to come to his office and she looked at me and said, "I'm gonna have to tell him when I go in there," so I said OK, what else could I have done at that point? So I wrote my resignation memo and I got really sad and cried, had Jennifer put it in his box, and I went to lunch and cried some more. He got it but he hasn't talked to me about it yet. Once I got past the actual doing it and the "no going back" feeling came over me, I felt better. I'm glad I'm not wrestling with it anymore and it's over.
It's a lot easier to leave a place that you don't like than one you do.
I have really liked working here and I have learned a lot and working with Stephen has been a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am grateful for the experience I have garnered while here. But I need to move on. I need to have a little more latitude and freedom and less drama. Jennifer will let me do the things that paralegals do and I'm excited about that. I'm pretty freaked out at having to set up an office all by ourselves and running it, but we're pretty smart gals, so I bet we can figure it out.
