Quote: I received the D papers yesterday. W handed them to me with "here are the papers for you to sign". I guess it struck me like a bolt of lightning although I could see it coming from the horizon. I am just internally tired and quiet right now.
I know exactly how you felt. As you are aware in my sitch, I knew the D was coming, the finality was looming, but it still hit me hard, like I didn't see it coming. Reading the final decree resulted in only numbness initially, but the wave of emotion a few days later? It was like someone dumped a 25 ton load of manure on me. (It could happen in my line of work)
Anyway, I feel for you and I know what it's like as I've been there recently myself. Lurk as long as you need. It helped me regain focus and thought process.
And, sorry that she picked first day of the semester to do this. I know what you have on your plate. But, is there ever a good time to have this happen?
