Tomorrow I'm talking with my boss about leaving. Feeling good about it but could use some words of wisdom and support. I've been meditating and reading my books on communication. All I can do is say my piece. Her reaction belongs to her.

Thanks, all!

Speak your truth with compassion.

If you know in your heart this is what you need to grow and be happy
don't doubt your choice.

Take care and big hugs for luck

If [we] never hear from you again . . . we know what happened.

YOU NO LEAVE. NOBODY NO LEAVE NEVER

I don't like to pop a pill over every little thing but tomorrow is a day when xanax is in order. My shrink said "Hey, that's what it's for!" LOL

Hammer

Take a bunch, add some alcohol . . . show up bombed . . . Get Fired!

No Worries.

See? A's are smarter than we know.

Put some FUN back in dysfunction.

Readerbaby, if you are as articulate in the spoken word as you are in the written form then I'm sure you will have no problem telling your boss what it is you wish to convey to her. I'm sure it will be honest and forth-rite.

Good luck and let us know how it went!

Thanks so much! It makes me feel good to hear that because I'm leaving my job to try to make my freelance writing into a full-time business.

cleaninLI

Oh, that's funny, I should've known you were a writer by profession. Well wishing you every success!...I'm sure you've made the right choice!

Good luck, you can do this!! Just think... you'll be one step closer to freeeeeeeee!

Do I sense guilt?
It's your life...neither that boss nor that job OWNS you.
So don't apologize for quitting, you're making a life choice, and who's life is it anyway?!!!

You gave, you received. There are no outstanding debts in this work relationship.

Good luck!!! Let us know how it went.

Good Luck...if we cannot find you we will come looking, and we will make Hammer lead the pack LOL!

HI

Good luck. Whatever happens, you will be fine. You had a long thread about possible fallout before, so I know you are prepared. Any personal items you have at work that you want to keep and will take with you when you leave, you might want to corral them just in case you need to make a hasty exit. I always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I bet it will be anti-climactic. But, if its not, then you will have a great story to tell in the future.

Good Luck!

Good luck, readerbaby! You can do this!! Just remember, you are not responsible for her reaction. You are only responsible for doing the job you were hired for, and for giving her sufficient notice in a respectful manner. How she reacts has nothing to do with you.
Congratulations, you're almost there

Stung

Good luck to you!

Good luck, RB! Remember, "we will intuitively know how to handle situations that used to baffle us." You'll do great, both tomorrow and in the future.

Best wishes w/your new enterprise--may it bring you joy, expand your horizons and enlarge your life in every way!

Seren

How exciting that you are getting ready to start on this new adventure! Best of luck tomorrow!!
