well, about 45 mins after that last post on wednesday, the one that was to be my last post from this place, they called us into a room and told us that they were sending us 14,000 more accounts for review. yesterday, though, nothing came until 15:30 and of course, we took our time learning the new codes and procedures. so today is really the last day and im feeling slightly less nostalgic, but still feel my departure hanging over me like .. well, like a cloud.

its 15:00. i am less than an hour away from walking out of here for the last time. ive been playing the gorillaz and ani defranco for most of the day.

today will most likely be my last day at chase. i woke up and arrived here early, thinking i would have some time to myself here before everyone else arrived. as usual, when you think you will be alone in this place, there are a few people there before you, working on their own things. i have viewed so many accounts that my left arm is aching from the repetitious movement.

i suppose i should go back to working; the excuse that im resting my arm wont work forever.

a goodbye present from chase: a severe, fast-acting case of carpel tunnel syndrome.

night.

i wanted to give everyone on my team a little gift. i wanted to give a present to all my close co-workers. i do not have the funds, so i am stuck just writing a card.

woohoo! :) tonight's the night.

there's a place in hell for me and my friends

our family tree hacked into decline
and im spared the pain
of ever saying goodbye.
the decision is mine.
i'm the end of the line
the end of the family line
the end of the line

ive been tracking all day and i only have 4 dots to show for it. im no meteorogist, heck, i cant even spell the word, but i think that this storm is moving north more than they think.

almost time to go home!

its summertime in FL! and what could say summer more than dangerous hurricanes heading your way? well, not exactly my way, but you never know. my area is now out of the "cone of possibility", which incidentally is what i call eating an ice cream while mowing the lawn, but we are not out of the woods yet. last years first major hurricane took a little jog to the east, about 100 miles south of where all the experts said it was going to land.

so, that being the case and the way of all hurricanes, i have decided to track this storm on my own. i have my tracking chart of the atlantic and the carribean and i have.. well, a pen. together, they will work.. well. ill keep you updated. in the meantime, check out some satellite images of dennis.

if there is anything that will strike fear into my heart, its an email from my HR generalist (oh wait, now called HR business partner) with the subject line: YOU. i think it might have something to do with the termination im pushing for.

anyway, today i should be back online at home with cable internet. yay! i hope its worth the 32 bucks a month. i thought about getting basic cable along with it, but even though i could justify it with the fact that ill be home more to enjoy it, i couldnt really justify it with that fact. and so im just going with the internet.

maybe youll get a live post from home this weekend!!

i actually feel liked ive worked today, almost like my pre-announcement of downsizing world. almost. im a bit defensive in my emails to the other site, the other site that still has a job (for now anyway) and i like to push their buttons when i can.

i merely looked 15 minutes at shopgoodwill today, which is a record for me.

now however, i am distracted by oprah's magazine.

so, ive been sick. im talking can't sleep, zero energy and crying on the couch sick. today im back at work and sucking on fishermans friends. wait, thats not what it sounds like.
