scared @ 5:46 p.m.

I surrendered my keys, prox card and alarm card to my supervisor.

I removed my name card from the nameplate outside my office.

I took my name label off the locater board and flicked it behind my now former secretary's desk.

I hugged her goodbye in the parking lot.

I got in the car, cranked up Mary J really loudly and rolled slowly from the lot.

And cried all the way home.

I am now, for the first time in seven years, officially unemployed.

And will be for two weeks.

I am so scared.
