Last Day

Date: July 8, 2021

I was working at a job (one I used to work at over 12 years ago at the time of the dram) and I had given my boss my two weeks notice because I knew it was time to move on and I had some interviews lined up and felt confident I would have a new job soon. I begin to pack up my office in preparation of my departure. I remember that the desk was mine so I took home the drawers and plan to move the rest of the desk on my last day of work.

Scene Change:

I have plans to go out to a nice restaurant with my brother and some friends. I choose a restaurant that is expensive but Iet everyone know that I can't afford to pay for everyone. My brother says he will pay. As we start ordering I am realizing that it is going to be expensive, so we agree to break up the bill. When the bill comes it is $595, however, we were expecting it to be somewhere in the two hundred dollar range. I am writing what I ordered down to figure out what to pay and am worried about what I will tell my wife about this large expense.

Scene Change:

Back at work my boss picks me up to take me out to lunch. He is driving a yellow/beigeish, old school Oldsmobile. He is asking how the interviews are going and I tell him that it is very weird that so far no one is getting back to me.

Scene Change:

Back in my office I am looking at my desk and suddenly I have this feeling that although I paid for the desk it is possible work reimbursed me for it, and it is in fact theirs and not mine to take home. The last thing I want is for them to think I am taking their property but I can't remember and am too embarrassed to ask them to look through the reimbursement receipts. Then my dad comes in the office and asks how I am going to move all this stuff out today. I don't understand what he means because in my head I don't have another job and I have time, but he reminds me that this is my last day. He suggests I ask to stay on longer until I have another job and have worked out help to move all my stuff out. The idea of approaching my boss with this request is daunting. I think it is strange that he hasn't spoken to me since I gave notice, but then I remember he hates facing people in these types of circumstances.

The End!
