This was a scheduled meeting by my former boss to talk about what I would be doing in my role after they move into the new offices. Because they are “tenants” now instead of owners.
(In mid-post I decided to start using the updated terms!! I went back and edited 
)
A handful of my expected new duties was to be introduced / discussed.
This blindsided him… 
Plus, I came in an hour early that morning to back-up my hard drive / PC on flash drives before deleting everything I had ever created for 16 years.
I gave the PC back to them the way it was issued to me - empty and like new!
I never printed out many files for 16 years. The few I did I tossed before moving because they all related to that old campus!
How did you hold the camera? Was it set on a tripod on the table or something?
Thank you for asking this. I’m unreasonably fascinated by the logistics of this.
And now you gave them two new duties: 1) figure out what you did, and 2) how to replace you.
But, to paraphrase what someone else on this great forum said “not your monkey, not your circus”
Just in my hand. I often lay it flat on a table if I’m using it to “take notes.”
The video is so shaky at parts because I’m not thinking about where the camera is pointed. I’m just trying to get out of that tiny storage closet / “meeting room” ASAP. I running on pure adrenaline.
This made my morning today!!
TRIGGERED!! TRIGGERED!! 
BANNED! NEVER THAT SAY AGAIN!!
It was a common phrase spoken at my office! Everything there is so compartmentalized and micromanaged that any time you could help, you know you shouldn’t out of fear.
So we all said, habitually, that phrase!
But now, the compartment you no longer have to worry about is the entire operation!
Yep! I still have some “trama” I have to shake off. Time is the only cure.
This isn’t the first “break-up” or even divorce I’ve been through! I know, in my heart, each say will put miles between me and my boss…
Because, to be clear, I worked for that company for 16 years. The first 13 years I had a different supervisor.
Then after the Pandemic the Founder retired after almost 40 years. He sold his stock to the guy who would become my boss.
In 3 years that guy ran off the original Executive Assistant who had been there 25 years. Then another after a year or so. He hired a third before the move.
So… I did 13 years and it was “fine”. I was BORED, a lot but it was fine.
Then I did 3 years with this guy as my boss and I had to go. I used to tell everyone that I was there until I retired… That was my plan.
Thankfully, I finally “woke-up / hit rock bottom.”
Don’t I understand that. I still think about my previous boss and how awful my work was. It’s been 9 years. My next boss fixed all the issues that I hated.
I went to my final physical therapy appointment today from the injury in July last year.
She said she could feel a complete difference in my body as she massaged it!
She say she has too many patients in the same predicament. The stress prevents the healing and everything is always clenched.
She doesn’t advise people to quit their jobs, but she had wanted to say it for months to me!!
Amazing! More confirmation that you did the right thing!
Life just keeps getting better!
You’ll have to scroll down a bit to see my personal update to this shared post!
