The End of Days

Well here we are at the last day. The end of days.

For those of you who don’t know. This is my last day working as a sales rep for a games distributor. I’d like to say that I made the decision to move on to greener pastures or something like that. But no. I was actually canned. Fired. Terminated. Asked to get the hell out. But they did it in a nice manner in which they asked for my two weeks. In turn I managed to finagle till the 30th of June. The stipulation was that if I found employment elsewhere before that date I would submit my notice.

That elsewhere employment I found was working for Williams Pipeline. We’ll go into that on another day in another post.

Yes. Here we are on the last day as a sales rep at a desk job.

I’m sure I don’t have to explain to you that there’s a surreal feeling that comes over an employee on their last day. A feeling of odd empowerment in which you can do anything.

I started the day with a check list of things I wanted to get done before the end of my last day. It started out with noble intentions. But with all things I put my mind to it became a bit warped. I’ve managed to complete all the tasks on my list and have begun doing other things which I haven’t added to the list yet. So far here is what we have:
