There she goes

We travelled 83279 kilometers together in just under two years. We were together for three hours everyday. She likes Johnny Cash and Arrow Jazz FM radio, like me. Or even if reception was alright, the occasional BBC Radio 4 on shortwave radio. And now I've given her keys to someone else.... My Megane was a company car, in fact all my cars were company cars, I've never owned a car. This one was special though... I picked her out myself, the model, the color, the engine. This was the last physical thing that tied to me to my employer, as of now, I'm completely and utterly unemployed. And you know what I find the oddest thing I have to get used to? That I can do stuff on weekdays, like buy stamps at the post office, and go to the local council's office to tell them I'm moving. Stuff that would normally necessitate taking an hour off from work I can now do in my own sweet time. Strange but very wonderful. Now, if only the weather was a little bit better....

For everyone who's not inclined to go get an official MBA, have a look at the Personal MBA (also good for business book recommendations).

Enjoy your time off ...

Another 5 more months to go for me.

When I moved to the UK a couple years ago I gave stuff away and sold my car to a friend.

It was both a cleansing and depressing moment.

I'm certain Megane will miss you too.

Mave: yes, definitely drop me a line when you're in London, I'd love to have a cup of tea with you!

MBAfarbe: 5 more paychecks! Way to go girl!

Al: all this giving away and selling stuff is actually quite good, I've been hanging on to stuff I should've chucked ages ago... quite cathartic.
