Oh, my coworkers are so sweet. I bought specialty cupcakes from the bakery up the street because I didn't want our standard, store-bought, vanilla cake with whipped cream frosting. My coworkers bought me a card and supplied chicken wings and salad. I chowed down and had like 8 or 9 wings...I'm not even gonna lie! I was surprised that it still tasted good because in the back of my mind I wondered if going vegan would mean meat would eventually disgust me.
Today, I reached out to HR to find out if they got my email that I sent two days ago. I had requested that they go ahead and terminate my employment on Friday instead of Tuesday. The difference being that Friday is the end of a pay period and that would make a clean cut. HR did not answer, rather they scheduled for me to meet with them at 10:30.
Why do I need to meet with them? They already sent me the exit interview and I can't be bullied into changing my answers. You know what? I do need to know what the consequences are if I don't come to work next week. My biggest concern would be not getting my PTO paid out to me. I earned that and I want it.
I'm proud of myself, I finally remembered to take all of my supplements and it's paying off. Now, I just need to get to the store to find some B12s and I'm set. Yesterday, the skinny jeans fit even better than last week. Now, that felt amazing. I remember when they used to cut off my circulation when I wore them all day at work. I've also got some business skirts to donate too. I tried my skirts on Monday because it was actually warm enough to wear a skirt. They're too big now.
Tonight, I have a small group meeting so that means fast vegan food for me again. I think I'll be ok, though. It's better to eat a whole-food meal than to fill up on the snack food the ladies bring.
I really hope this meeting goes in my favor. I need the days off regardless of whether they give them to me willingly. I need a chance to put this place behind me so I don't mentally take it with me. Is that so much to ask?
Onward...
