Feb. 25th, 2005 05:18 pmSo, um. I'm all done. No more work. I'm officially on maternity leave. Wow.
It's a weird feeling: freeing and anti-climactic (much like finishing college was, perhaps?) and sad and happy..... (Much like my feelings about work in general these days.) It's so bizarre to have NOTHING on my schedule for the forseeable future. I have lunch dates for Monday and Thursday. A doctor's appointment Tuesday.
I do have a list of projects I can work on to keep me from getting bored (many are very open-ended, like "crocheting"). And plenty of books to read. I plan to treat any time between right now and... whenever the Electric Baby decides to get here, as a vacation pure and simple - for relaxing and resting up and making final preparations. Maybe now that I'm done with work, I can finally get some decent sleep - work stress and pressure won't be keeping me awake anyway.
My coworkers have all been speculating as to when I will deliver (there was talk of an office pool, but I don't think anyone has organized anything yet). Most people think I'll go late, which I believe as well. *My* prediction? I think it will be next weekend, at the earliest. Again, just my gut instinct.
