Day One as a Housewife

I was able to cook breakfast and dinner and make sandwiches for lunch. I went grocery shopping (twice - because I am very forgetful). I got my eyebrows waxed and a pedicure. I even found a wonderful library really close to me.

But for some reason, I still feel like I work there. It's like a nightmare that doesn't end. Maybe it's because I had to go up there today. I had to turn in my laptop, my badge, and my key, and get the rest of the stuff from my room. The principal kept asking me moronic questions like: "Have you hear from HR? You don't want them to withhold your money for job abandonment, do you?" and "You know where you are supposed to take that [laptop] right?"

The problem is: because I signed a contract to teach for the whole year, HR has to 'approve' my resignation. A teacher can't just up and leave without some sort of documentation. However, I HAVE documentation. He also was trying to get me to take my laptop all the way to HR (which is only a few miles away - but have no free parking), when HR told me I could just give him my laptop. I explained all this to him - probably in a 'disrespectful' tone, because I get like that sometimes.

Anyway, I after I said my goodbyes, I ended up passing him and another teacher in the hall talking (gossiping). I KNOW they were talking about me. My mom would say that I am being paranoid - but really I never think people are actually talking about me (even when they have been!). But this time I was pretty sure. I could tell the way they avoided looking at me and their voices got really low when I went past.

But even if they WERE talking about me, why should I even care? I don't even work there anymore. What kind of insecure idiot, am I!? HE is the incompetent moron - and she is just his little flunky. Why in the world should I care what they think???

I need to work on that.
