D - ???
The time has come to break the news to those who, in the office, I call friends before coworkers. No one seems surprised, but then even I wasn't surprised...
I receive unanimous and unconditioned support on the fact that I will find soon another job, and this is undoubtedly a nice thing to hear, but - no point hiding it - I am still worried for tomorrow.
In the late afternoon I meet the outplacement consultant. Although I know that a part of his job is to make you see the future brighter than it actually is, he makes a very good impression to me, which is not necessarily a good thing, since the company he's working for is much smaller and less formalized (and I would be much more hard pressed to rationally choose it). He radiates a lot of confidence, as he should, and one of his statements stays with me long after the meeting has ended: "The coming months will be uncharted, but not necessarily hostile, territory." I realize that I have not walked on uncharted territory for a long, long time. And, all in all, I realize that it's something I'm missing.
