In accordance to my decision in this last post,
I spoke to my co-workers today about quitting my job after this fiscal year.
I was unable to have the guts to let my co-workers know about my decision to not re-contract all of last week, however, I finally did this morning. I didn't give any pre-warning, but simply dragged my chair up next to my Boss and told him my decision in simple, short sentences.
As he can't anyway due to the rules of my contract as it is up to us whether we stay for another year or not, he didn't say anything against me not wanting to stay. Instead, he gave me the bland "wakarimashita" ("I understand"), frowned, put his head in his hands and sighed that there were going to be complications with expenses and funds, though I told him that as I would be staying in Japan so there is no need for them to pay for my flight home.
My heart is still beating from the nerves and I feel a little sick about the whole thing.
It was
almost like my decision caused more trouble, and that I'm this big burden on them now, more than ever.
I just couldn't stay, though...
Seeing my Boss react like this has made me realise even more that I hate my workplace and working with my co-workers.
I feel horrible yet relieved at the same time.
Let's just say I'm very much looking forward to my dinner date with a friend in Sapporo tonight.
God, I could eat a cake.
