A tough lesson has been learnt that I need to call first and not just drop around do my parents' unannounced.

In other news I may have a new brother or sister soon.

Weird stage of my notice period where I know I'm leaving but others don't.

Rejecting meetings with cryptic responses:

"More to come..."
"Stay tuned..."
"Maybe next time..."

For me, I have 6 pays owing to me before I'm out the door. They can withhold these at their leisure

Would I pass for a 35 state of mind?
Could I pass as a maiden?

Um...
How much effort is it to reminder if it's morning, afternoon or night?

Thinking my notice period was 8 weeks, I put in writing that my last day is December 2nd.

My notice period is 2 months, so my last day is December 5th. They claimed they didn't need to pay the AL because I won't work out my notice period.

(This is resolved now.)

They haven't discussed Terms with me yet & I'm paranoid they will short me on the 21 days accrued annual leave I've been hoarding.

I'm still being a model employee:
* Polite on the outside
* Dead on the inside
