I was sort of expecting this - but I wasn't sure when it would happen. My company has decided to offer compensation for anyone who wants to quit their job. That's nice of them, because it sort of matches up with my desire to go overseas. That's planned for early-mid next year. So the company has given us a few weeks to decide what we want to do (not a lot of time, but I'm certain) and I've replied that I want to quit and take the money. I'll likely be given about 20 weeks of pay. That's worth it. I guess I'll miss some things about this job, but there are a huge number of things I won't miss. The actual job being one of them. It's not for me, it was just meant to be a short term job that turned into 5 years. I can't stand looking for work, so when I'm working somewhere, I'm unlikely to want to move. A bit sad, really. I admire people who change jobs. I've never done it. The things that I will miss are few in number, but I have to admit, I like having a job, and feeling like I am a part of something. I didn't work for 13 years due to health issues, that has an effect on anyone, not being part of the work force. I guess I'll miss walking into work and people saying hello and figuring out what my plan for the day was. Assuming that they accept my offer, I'll leave mid February.
