Another rainy day here in MD. The sun was lovely yesterday, but towards the end of the day, it started playing coy behind the clouds.

I'm trying to convince the cat that I will no longer be getting up at 4:45 every morning, but she refuses. She jumps on me at 4:30, pawing the covers around my face, meowing at me. She's happy to settle for some love, though if I doze back off while petting and she's not done, I get a firm nip to remind me that I was doing something. Never hard enough to break skin, just a pinch. Eventually, when she's had enough, she'll fuck off somewhere and wait half and hour or so, and then try again. Thus why usually I end up upright around 6am. In this case, I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I stood up, she ran upstairs, chirping happily. I couldn't not get up!

I felt so much lighter yesterday. Happy and relaxed in a way I haven't been in 3 months. It was nice. I've put out roughly a million resumes, which I'm hoping I get a bite on this week. I have the rescheduled Hopkins interview on Wednesday, and I'm feeling pretty positive about that one. I've got resumes into temp agencies in the meantime, just to keep some sort of cash flow. I also signed up to drive for Uber if I need some money quickly. Tomorrow, I have my visit with my psych doctor, and will see what he says about my ADHD diagnosis.

I'll have insurance through the end of the month, and I've started an application on MD Health exchange for replacement insurance. We're allowed a discounted rate, so that'll be helpful.

Currently, I'm trying to decide what to include in my resignation letter. I could go a little sour grapes, but I think I'm going to try to keep it professional. I may include a touch of my annoyance, but overall, it'll be a standard resignation. "So sorry it didn't work out, feel that under the circumstances, it's better that I don't work out my notice, so consider this my immediate resignation." I will refrain from the entire letter being "Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you."

I probably will point out that my co trainee and I were scored according to different metrics. I may mention the back pain call, and that she looked to the trainer frequently and still got scored a 4/5, whereas if I did it, it was an immediate 2. I haven't looked at my last three evals, and I don't plan to. They can rot in my inbox for all I care.

In my buoyant mood yesterday, I may have gone slightly off the rails, setting up two more one shot games on the server. One is on the 29th, one is on Christmas evening. I love being free to set up more games again. I'm only taking a Mon-Fri day job, so at worst, I get home around 6, and have time to prep for the game and eat dinner for Wednesday or Friday night games. Hell, if I get the job with Hopkins, I would just have to turn my computer off and walk out of the office. I could deal with that very well.

Okay, time to consider getting myself together for another day. Everyone have a wonderful Sunday!

it's nice you can return to a later wake-up time, though I'm sorry for the reason. it's too bad things worked out this way, but think your idea of immediate resignation, and mentioning in your letter the reason - in a professional manner! - makes sense.
