Did I sort of sleep in on my first day post-Day Job? Of course I did! Not too late, though...I got out of bed around 7am, though I was up and drifting in and out of sleep since 5am. I rarely sleep past eight on the weekends these days anyway (partly because I no longer stay up all hours like I used to), and I like enjoying the morning as well. Coffee, breakfast, webcomics, catching up on east coast social media. Plus it gives me more time in the day to do the little creative things like my Daily Words and journaling. I have a few errands this afternoon, but other than that, I have no major plans until further notice.

The only thing that's tripping me up is that my last day landed on a Tuesday and my brain keeps thinking it was Friday and it's now the weekend already. That's gonna take a few days to get used to.

I didn't burn that particular bridge as much as I'd planned, and I think I made the right choice. I did have a long talk with my now-former-manager, though. I did have my issues with him, but he wasn't exactly terrible. Just a staunch play-both-sides-to-keep-things-peaceful kind of person. And it was never about the people; I got along just fine with a lot of people there. It was the bank itself that did me in, and we both came to the same conclusion yesterday, that Upper Management fucked up, and fucked up bad. And I did get confirmation that my former teammates *are* in fact working from home if they so choose -- I'm angry that it took me quitting to get them to make that move, but as I've said before, if my taking the hit so others means that others can remain safe and healthy in this pandemic, then in the end I FUCKING WON.

Meanwhile, now it's time for me to enjoy myself, at my own speed, for a few days. :)
