i also have moved to being almost 95% certain that i will quit this place at the beginning of june. i thought about it over the weekend and its an opportune moment to do it then and i don't want to end up staying here temporarily and then realising years have passed. if i don't get anything immediately its no bother as there is the world cup on tv, i can do a cisco exam, and possibly become one of the very few people around that is Microsoft, Citrix, VMware and Cisco certified, and i could even go away for a week or two. i have taken only 1 week off work in the last 15 months that i have worked here, so i think i am allowed a short holiday.
the plan is to sign the new 3 month contract at the end of this month when this current contract expires on april 30th, and then inform them that i will be leaving a few days later (contracts are done on a 3 month basis and not monthly). which gives me a leaving date of the end of may and it gives them the whole of may to find a replacement, although as is always the way, my boss is off from april 30th till may 9th on holiday, so it gives them 3 weeks. how many fucking holidays does someone need in a year??!!. it means i will be completely free by the end of may and if i haven't found anything i will agree to stay on a week by week basis till either they or i find something else, whilst it allows me to be almost immediately availble for a new contract elsewhere if one were to come up.
the reason i am doing it this way, is that its not entirely beyond the realms of possibility that i might be out of work for a few weeks and i would rather be out of work in june when the world cup is on than in may, when i will get bored and slowly go out of my mind from being at home all the time.
now if that ain't a good plan, quite frankly i don't know what is. all the bases are covered.
today i have mostly been listening to PF Project - choose life.
