SEVEN Professor Klein asked me three different times if I was sure about my resignation. It felt good to know that the office had valued my help. In a letter from his personal e-mail address, he wished me luck and told me to call if I ever needed anything. The other professors didn’t show as much disappointment in my leaving, but they were all supportive and wished me well. I thought I might be sad about going, but I wasn’t. I knew that it wasn’t the type of work I wanted as a career. To leave them in as good hands as possible, I went over the office basics again with the new assistant and advised her to write it all down.
Over lunch I had an appointment with Judy. I thought about canceling it but decided to go and get a few things off of my chest. Judy was current on my new social life.
