1st Ramadan - Resignation

Iftaar day 1 ramadan - home cooked

Well it was a good day, kids got up, had sohor together, prepared for school and off we went out of the door at 7.15am. 15min later than yesterday but on time. Sohor was hard boiled eggs with bread and cheese with milk, banana and dates. 

It seemed mechanical today after the talk with the boss yesterday. She’s well… indecisive. So I made it easier when she texted this morning at 6am. Since January she was lingering on about it so today’s decision was good although delayed.

Reached office at 8.15am, sat through the morning struggling with the PC which took ages to load online shared documents for some analyses. Eventually it was 1pm that the technician came and sorted it out after a quick break for solat then back to work. The arrangement at work was like if you got in at 8 you may leave at 4 without the lunch hour for the month of Ramadan. 

I finished the publication and grants report, submitted it, had a consultation with a researcher from English department and then sat to write the resignation letter. 

It took me 10min printed it, signed and submitted it at the boss’s office, emailed her and whatsapp her too just for good measure. Packed up and drove back home. 

Upon reaching, reparked hubby’s car at another spot after getting the summons for forgetting to pay parking fee and came home to cook for iftaar and dinner. 

Kids came home with their transport and got ready then helped with making lemonade 🥰. MJ fasted and EJ made it half day. 

At that time boss sent an email to HR confirming my resignation. Let’s start the ball rolling I’d say. She allowed me to go anytime. That’s good news. 

Anyway adhan was at 7.27pm. We broke fast together then jemaah for maghrib and some time reading the Quran with kids. Did ishak together but the kids were tired so I advised them to go study and get ready for school tomorrow. I continued with 8 rakaat terawih then with house chores. My day ended at 10.30pm while I sit here to write this I pray that God will be merciful to me.

Allahulam
