6 Day's Left Until I'm a Full Time Entrepreneur!

A week has passed since I put my notice in at work. Time seems to be going about as fast as it did when I was in a three hour Friday afternoon lecture back in college. I am still totally pumped and I can't wait for the end of the month. That said, everything at work has been exactly the opposite of what I thought it would be.

I figured everyone would leave me alone to wrap up my work and pass it on, and I could spend most of my days socializing. Unfortunately, it's gone exactly like that, except the complete opposite.

For a day or two everyone was in I'm-happy-for-you mode, but that has quickly turned into do-as-much-work-for-me-as-you-can-before-you-leave-so-I-don't-get-screwed-over-by-you-quitting mode. My calendar is jam packed and people keep adding to it. I can honestly say that if I work my a** off for the next week I still probably won't get everything done. Not to mention I need some time to clean out my desk, meet with HR, and socialize with friends that I won't see very often in the future :)

One of the guys who sits next to me just laughs anytime someone comes over and asks me to do something. He said that it's always been that way. Every time you leave a job they squeeze you for everything they can. To me, that's a little counter-intuitive. I still would think that once you put your two weeks in that they would focus on moving on rather than getting every little bit they can out of you.

Regardless, the whole thing has been a learning experience and all it does is make me more excited to quit and get out of there. The only downside is that I am getting pretty burned out trying to still work on SportsLizard.com while coordinating a move and leaving my job. I'm going to have to take a few days off before I can hit the ground running because right now I am running on empty. This whole thing isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
