I'm two days in to working my notice (only four weeks to go) and gosh it hasn't half been fun. Management in Morrisons has long known that I don't give a bollocks, since handing in my notice they haven't even tried to get me to work. It's fucking beautiful man. I am still making some effort, cos otherwise some other poor bastard is gonna have to do it and I'm not in the game of pissing people off. No point burning bridges, if my future plans go tits up I have a back up there.
However it will take desperation on levels I cannot comprehend to get me back there. I'm grateful for the seven years of employment Morrisons have given me, hell they've funded a lot of things I couldn't live without. So cheers for that. It is time to go though. Time to wrench myself from the comfort zone and into a scary world.
I knew this would come. The "Oh fuck what have I done?!" moment has descended. In a few short months I will be cut of from everything. And its terrifying. The last time this happened is when I went to University. Being far away from everything didn't work out for me (when I say far away I mean an hours drive away from home). I ended up getting my degree in Wrexham and living at home.
I'm worried the same thing will happen. I'm fearful that I've become so stuck in a rut that I've developed a weird off shoot of "Stockholm Syndrome" and become to love it. Like an abused wife I'll come back again and again because it loves me, despite the fact I hate it.
HOWEVER this is possibly the best thing that could ever happen to me. If I don't take this opportunity then I deserve nothing but contempt and ridicule. There are people out there that think I'm ace (even if don't agree with them) not to do this would fucking crush them. And me.
But I'm still fucking scared.
Thats how it goes though I guess.
Its hardly fitting but I'd like to dedicate this to my Granddad, the dude bankrolled me through school. And now he's gonna fund this latest venture into improving my life. You sir are a star, if it weren't for you I'd probably think my job in Morrisons was the best I could hope for.
Thank you.
I've got to close with something funny though, thats like the most serious I've been ever. How about some Muppets, yeah. Even better than that hows about some Muppets with Superman himself Christopher Reeve. Enjoy.
