With only a couple of weeks left at my old job, I’ve got a serious case of short timer’s syndrome. I am just going through the motions at this point. I show up at 8am and leave at 5pm. I’m getting the job done, but that’s about it. In some ways I hate the fact that I have this attitude. I’ve never been a workaholic, but I have always prided myself in doing the best job I can do. However, it’s hard to muster the initiative to go above and beyond the minimum required…particularly since it was my employer’s choice not to retain me in the outsourcing effort.
Also, I’m going to take a week off between jobs. We’re taking the trailer up to Cascade to camp for a week. One week to reflect upon 17 years at my first “real” job. I’m really looking forward to it. I want to get my batteries re-charged so I can hit the ground running at my new job.
