we're all living proof that nothing lasts

i am in the last stretch of working here. i have 6 business days left at this job. Weird.



I started the whole cleaning out the desk routine. I filed those random documents that have been sitting on your desk for years because you dont know where to put them (i made them all folders and hoped for the best). I've also been throwing away things from my "junk drawer" that had been ratpacked away since i started here. it finally feels like i am leaving. i am soooooo terrified.

all this time i had expected my first student loan check would materialize around now and i would be able to coast into law school without fear. But actually i dont get it from another TWO MONTHS, meaning i have to live TWO MONTHS off of $1600 in paychecks and some change. in the end i will have about $500 for food and expenses for that time. That is the scariest thing i have heard in a long time.

Please remind me why i am really excited to quit this job and move on with my life despite all the ramifications.

One thing is that magnolienbaum is taking over from me. We've had conversations about plusses/minusses here and i think we've both resolved that them taking my job is a really good thing. People at my office seem to really like them as well, so this makes me very happy.
