2 Weeks Notice

So today is the day! I have to give notice at Modine (since im leaving in exactly 2 weeks). Do I come prepared to work? Of course not! lol

I come in as usual, send my morning message to my MG. Get the usual coffee and make oatmeal and then continue to Milena's cube to chat for about 45 min. (couldn't wake up without my ritual!)

Then as I get back to my desk "N" stops by with a Christmas gift and engages in small chat for a minute. Im thinking "Damn, I should have been ready to give my notice and I dont even have a letter yet!" Someday I might actually learn to stop procrastinating! So I panic and Gayle walks by. I grab her and I frantically put together a letter. I do a practice run of my short speech....

"So back in december when i went to CA an opportunity fell into my lap. I have hemmed n hawed over this all winter break, and it is just too great of an opportunity to pass up and so I am submitting my formal 2 weeks notice today".

Sounds good so I head to "N's" cube to deliever the letter and speech. Heart is racing, face is already starting to burn up and turn a beautiful shade of RED! (shouldn't have worn a hott pink shirt today). I give the speech and 1st respone is "You just started!!!" Yikes! But it went well and ended with a "Good Luck"!

So I was all freaked out for nothing... I know... Gotta get better at confrontations and talking to people! I should have called Beefy 1st!

Now I just gotta figure out what I am going to do the next 2 weeks....

Here is a copy of my letter:
