Monday (say it ain't so!)

Another Monday, except this is not just like any other. I am living in that surreal space that is the last week at your job. Job life feels quite strange. I am no longer striving to please or making sure to keep things organized so as to not make a problem in furture operations. Instead, I am here to field day to day calls, I no longer stress about being right on time being productive. I am just putting in the last week of seat time before I head out and begin the moving process. Away I go, retreat to a better place. I will leave this corporation in the dust. I cannot do it. Corp life is not for me.

Why come to work at all? Well, for one, I don't want to drop all of my work load in someone else's lap. I'll ease out of it this week, and others can gradually pick up the slack. I have heard no word of a replacement, so maybe they are simply thinking they can get by without me for a while. I don't really care either way. I am here to get one more measly paycheck, and to make sure I properly fulfill that formal two weeks. Good boy. You learned to protect the interest of the system while in college. Damnit!

Yes, I am living in a somewhat altered state of consciousness. On the one hand, I still have responsibilities and a life here. On the other, my head and heart are already on the road to my new home, a place I hope to settle for a while. I still have plenty of moving anxiety, but I feel like I am bailing out of the sinking ship that was my life in the heavily populated corporate world. It's back to nature for me!

Life rolls on. I am tired but think I can still muster the energy for this transition. It will all be worth it in the end.


Here is a riddle for the day:
You are trying to find the high road in life, and in your path you come to a split. At the fork stand two people. One of them will always tell you the truth, and the other will tell you only lies. You are aware of this fact, but you do not know which person is the liar and which is honest. You can ask only one question, directed at only one of them. What can you ask to be sure you stick to the high road?

This one took me a long time, but I came up with a sufficient answer. Can you figure it out? Good luck with your Mondays, all.
