Day 365: I Mark My Anniversary In The Appropriate Manner

What's the best way of marking the anniversary of a weblog created to celebrate non-workingness? There is only one possible answer: to tell one's employers that one no longer wishes to be in their employ.*

Yes, friends: from the end of August, I am free. Free to spend all day attempting to identify the most flattering Fez angle; free - perhaps - to replace my small clay pipe; free to sit in my armchair fingering a small glass of absinthe.

I shall be poor, but I will be myself again: Non-workingmonkey, non-working in both the literal and metaphorical sense.


* They didn't argue much, mind you.

Hurrah! And other similar jubilant noises of empathetic glee!

Hurray. Well done. Probably the best way to mark an anniversary of non-workingness.

Best of all, you can now create chaos during your notice period. Why should you care - your're leaving. Please, please, please loads of mischief between now and the end of August. I won't tell if you don't.

Jolly well done. Be proud. Eat cake.

There must be something in the water - I'm about to do the same! Though unfortunately I am not about to achieve a blessed state of non-workingness, but will be starting a job with someone else. Sigh.

Miss Monkey, you are an example to us all. I salute you.

Hoorah for freedom! And if you have a moment or two to spare from absinthe fingering (is that a euphemism?) you can admire all sorts of wonderful things on the internet. Like this site - an excellent name, and quite fetching logo.

Funnily enough, I have decided to be more working than non-working, having just taken some time off, and see how that pans out. But I support you in your decision, my dear NWM, and hope that it brings you much happiness.

Brilliant news - we need all the good people we can get. Love 'n peace from the hippy branch of the non-working community.

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

You were always destined for the non-working-ness. But where in the world will you be staring down squirrels in your next phase of non-working-ness? Will there be beavers?

Dearest friends, these kind messages of support are very much appreciated. (I mean it too.) Pup - you're probably right, as it goes. Newbie: just outside Montreal! Not a joke. Oh yes.
