Office Life

At work now. Technically, my last day was last Saturday, but I'm here to clean my cubicle, inside and out. To be honest, I just came in so I could feel useful. I've been working in the Film Program here for 2 years and it's really been the sole reason of why I've stayed in NY for as long as I have. It's been an awesome job, working alongside incredibly talented people.

I got my last Japan Society paycheck last Friday. I truly do want it to be my very last office job paycheck for... wait for it... EVER. I'm not sure what's in store for me in California, and I'm aware that anything is possible, but I really never want to work an office job ever again. I'm ready for something completely new.

But the office job has its merits, don't get me wrong. I almost barfed the other day, when I was signing off on my health insurance termination papers and the HR lady told me that I could continue coverage for $550 a month. WTF!!!! That's so obscene, just plain wrong.

Plus, the office supply closet. Between me and you, I've taken enough Sharpies to last me a lifetime. That's something I will truly miss.

Everyone is asking me, "When is your last day?" Um, last Saturday. "Well, best of luck to you if I don't see you!" Well, I'll probably be back on Monday cause there's no way I'm gonna finish everything up today, so I'll see you around.

It's embarrassing. I feel like I'm constantly saying goodbye to people, then throwing them off by showing up a couple of days later. But I can't say goodbye for good. Not yet.

Yamahomo just walked by and saw me blogging and he sneered. He knows that I'm never gonna leave my little cubicle. I mean, does it look like I'm going anywhere to you???
