The big conversation

I did it. I told the boss I'm not coming back.

It was a good conversation. She said she was sad to lose me (natch), but that she wasn't surprised.

I tried to stress how great the job is, and how much I've learned in the past three years. She asked for my assistance with the transition, and even left to the door open to do some freelancing. I'm happy to be leaving on a good note.

So 12 more weeks of employment... then I'm a stay-at-home mom and part-time grad student. Crazy.
