Last Day at the Plant!

Well, I did it! Yesterday, I told Oscar that I had found a new job helping a disabled lady with her day to day chores, and that this Friday (today) would be my last day. I probably extended the truth a little since I told everyone I was planning to start the new job on Monday but actually, I don't think it will start until early July. Either way, my eczima ridden fingers and frazzled brain told me on Thursday that there was no way I could hack another day of misery on the line so I called it quits. The ultimate trigger was when my friend Al decided to leave along with a few of his buddies reducing our little posse to only me, Donna, and Pat. Not to mention that the radio station the guys had chosen as a substitute for discmans has Maureen Holliday on in the morning and she drives me absolutely insane with her banchee-like laughter. Yes, today was definitely the perfect day to end this stage of my life.

I took a few pictures if anyone is interested in what I look like in workman's get-up. It's quite funny, really. The other people in the pictures are Pat, Donna, John and Oscar. Enjoy!
