Let It Shine

Tonight is the last night I will go to bed with the intention of getting up and going to work the next day.

Tomorrow is my last day as a gainfully employed member of society. 

Tomorrow is the day I take my Light from under a cubicle and LET IT FUCKING SHINE.

I was apparently not so great at my job.  This bothered me greatly for most of the spring leading into summer.  It bothers me a little bit still, I won't lie.

But had I been good at scheduling interviews for mostly inconsiderate, non-communicative software engineers with an insane sense of entitlement, I'd have a job there on Monday.  But thank God, my lucky stars, the universe, karma, Dharma and Greg that I was apparently not that good at it.  Because on Monday, I try my hand at doing whatever I want to do.  

This is great for a lot of reasons, but here are the two that matter:

1.  I was tired of busting my ass trying to get someone else to recognize my worth and failing.

2.  Now I call the shots.  I give all the important projects to me.  I get all the promotions.  I get all the raises.   I am called into all the important meetings and am asked my opinion about the big important crap.  When I give advice, change is implemented immediately based on what I think.  Here's why:  

The only person to whom I have to prove my worth IS ME.

So thank you, PayPal for giving me back my worth.  I'm going to take much better care of it than you or any other company ever could.

Hide it under a bush, OH NO!  

I'm gonna let it shine!

Hide it under a bush, OH NO!

I'm gonna let it shine!

Hide it under a bush, OH NO!

I'm gonna let it shine,

Let it Shine

Let it SHINE

LET IT SHINE!!
