that I can’t even recognize when I have a cold/virus/flu.

*sigh*

Thankfully SuperMom is always around to prescribe panadol multisymptom and tell me that I have a cold or something.
How would we manage without SuperMom?
I would think my sleepless nights and tossing and turning on the bed and 20 hours a day of lying down on the bed (not necessarily sleeping) is me just withering away … Alhamdulillah for SuperMom!

But today I managed to make myself stay awake for….6 hours so far? And I talked to people (brother, SuperMom, daddy) a lot…so much that my simple sore throat (only sign of a virus I could see) is thinking of escalating into my losing my voice! I could barely talk to sister and niece on the phone!!!

Yes, I am no longer in Guyana. I’ve been home for about two weeks now but I haven’t had the energy to post, comment, send much email…actually do much. I had to shut down the computer a couple days ago and I haven’t even logged back into IRC. I feel so lost. But I can’t even sleep in my bed so what’s the point since the computer isn’t where I’m sleeping.

I’m so sick.

I’m fed up of being sick.

And people think I should reconsider my job.
Hmph.

Today is my last official day of employment.

From tomorrow I shall be gainfully unemployed!

WOOOHOOOO!!!

Isn’t being an aunty fun? :-)

Been sick the last month…very horrible…slept non-stop and it wasn’t restful.

Still enjoying this unemployed feeling tho. Got last paycheque. Hope to post *something* of substance one day. I posted pictures on flickr the other day….I will try to put links…feeling tired….must sleep….plane in 8 hours

whether my students got a replacement for me yet?

I gave work enough notice…I shouldn’t be worrying.

Maybe, I’m not worrying but wondering?

I don’t miss working at that place but I never hated the students (well maybe some individual ones who knows?) and if they don’t get a replacement I would be very sad. But, I should be free to not think of it! I should, right?

Sort of.
Today was my last working day at my current place.
Technically my last employed day is sometime next month…but I cleared out my desk (mostly), deleted my email (darn I should’ve deleted my account settings from Outlook but anywayz), deleted all my files (I hope! Did I forget something?), turned in my keys, gave in that silly flash drive and…left?

I also left things to be copied for the students who worry they won’t get a replacement teacher.

But FREE!!!!!!
Happiness.

Okay.
Of course I am a bit worried. Everybody likes money coming in. Not having an income any more is sort of worrisome but this is better for me for now! :)

And I’m technically on paid vacation now :)

I gave notice on Monday.

I ran along to tell people who should have some warning of this state of affairs. I told them, “I gave notice.” They asked, “Notice of what?”

Is that not the right term?

Oh well, I shall simplify. I resigned my position with 1 month’s notice (sort of).

What next for Lilandra? Who knows.

I feel so free and like there is a weight lifted off my shoulder. It is good. Why didn’t I do this ages ago? Anywayz, everything in its time. (Thank God).

Ooo! Google Code Jam for the Caribbean. (Yes, I glanced at the google blog).
I hope some people from T&T are competing in this.
I don’t think I’m an awesome programmer sooooo….

Man, my mother is going to see this and tell me about my NEGATIVITY.

But, it’s so cool! I think. If I remember what a Code Jam is.
