Change in plans
Today I got sort-of fired from a job I had already sort-of quit. So, the sabbatical I was planning to take anyway will now be starting a month early. Which is actually good news, once I get over the initial shock and ego blow. No, it's not really being fired when you've already announced you're leaving and they simply decide to go ahead and cut the ties, but when you get the news at 4:45 in the afternoon of your last day, and are told no, you can't put in one last hour to tie up one more loose end, this is it, buh-bye, it sure FEELS like being fired. Although I wasn't going to stay, I didn't expect them to move on so fast.
(Is this reminding anybody besides me of high-school breakup drama? "No, I didn't want to date him any more, but couldn't he pine just a little?" :) )
