My supervisor approved the plan, so it looks like my schedule will be as follows:
- Dec 21st - Jan 5: Winter vacation. (They actually close the campus for an "energy curtailment" so we aren't supposed to be there anyway.)
- Jan 6: Last day of work.
- Jan 7 - Feb 10: Paid vacation... from which I do not return. Yeah, I have a ton of vacation to burn.
So basically, December 20th is my last-day-eve, and then Jan 6th is my official last day!
My supervisor reminded me about the going-away party that I'd have, so I'm assuming Jan 6th will mostly be taken up with that, wrapping up a few loose ends, and saying goodbye to everyone (and to my favorite cultures... I'm looking at you, Micrasterias!). Essentially, my job and responsibilities are over after Dec 20th.
As luck would have it, my amazon.com order of crayola construction paper arrived early last night... perfect timing for creating the paper chain.
A swirly rainbow of dwindling despair increasing hope!
There are 40 links: 28 work days, 12 weekend/holiday days, and not counting the 2 weeks of winter vacation of course. Each rainbow represents one week left, so it is a nice visual. After having torn off the first one last night, I can honestly say that ripping a link is pretty darn satisfying. Now... where to hang it?
