    The new place will be great. It is, by far, the largest city I will have ever worked in. Just not the largest TV market.

    Sorry to disappoint on the gamer.

    Went surprisingly well. Boss was very understanding and also apologetic for how everything went down here.

    Sounds like I’ll be here for all two months and I’m good with that. Mostly because I don’t really care about the stress of the job any further.

    Senioritis is go! There’s nothing like playing out a notice at work like it was the fourth quarter of the old Blue-Gray Game.

    The bizarre part. Today was the first time in my two years here that I was calm, happy, relaxed.

    No worrying about the workload. Just get through it and go home. All the mistakes? Meh. Got a better place to go to soon.

    Given the “dead man walking” notion introduced earlier, perhaps he was relieved by your news as well?
    Sounds like you have played this perfectly.

    Maybe only to get my salary off the books. There’s still some contract wrangling to work through but I just want it to end. I’ll spend these last two months outside as much as I can, going to my favorite sports and doing my research for the next place.

    Holy shit, you’re going to do your own research?
