A few days....

Its been quite a few days for us..... Since I got the job, I put my resignation on monday afternoon. As I was expecting, my boss said I was not an essencial "piece" of the department, that they all could do without me, and she seem no reason for me to stay any longer with the company. When I informed her of things only I did, she felt the need to ask me to come in on wednesday for a few hours to get someone else trained on this. I was relieve to know that I no longer had to work with that horrible woman. On monday afternoon, two of the other managers where really disappointed to know that I would be leaving, and most certainly given the fact that I was doing so, because of my boss.
Tuesday.... 15 de Setiembre.....or September 15th.....Independance day!!! I drove to my grandparents house, very early, just so I could watch the parades and bands marching through their home town. I love going to their home town, cause this is the place where I grew -up....and so I get to see many familiar faces and it brings down many memories too....
Wednesday morning I headed for my "last day" at work. I was quickly informed, by my boss, to do a quick training...she didn´t want me sticking around too much, I think she didn´t want me telling people the real reason why I was leaving.....I guess she´ll use my pregnancy loss as my reason for leaving.
On thursday I ran some errands. My license plates where kinda broken, and I needed to get new ones. I also needed to get a new agenda (not the best of times to get a 2009 agenda), and the employment costarrican code (for my new job). I also needed to find my school documentation, and other legal papers I was asked to bring to the new company for my file...
On Friday Ale had the day off. Since he worked on tuesday (holiday) he got friday off. I had an appointment at 9am at the new company, I was to sign the new contract, and also get all my paperwork to them. I´m happy to inform that I ´ll be starting my new job on September 28th, and will have next week to complete my list of errands, and hopefully rest some before going back to work. Also, as every 19ish we went to get our groceries and came back home to rest. I was also surprise to receive a phone call from the 2 other managers, wondering if I could receive a phone call from the top managers. This was because when they were informed about my resignation, and the real reason I was leaving, they were completely disappointed to know that a manager has not been professional and has been abusing her authority to the point where someone (me) had to quit because of the abuse and lack of common sense. I guess I will see what happens next week when I get their call.....
