[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 54339, member: 87"] Witzend -- I'm so happy for you! Your new job is a wonderful opportunity for you!!! When I gave my 2-week notice to my last boss, what worked for me was to hand her an envelope with my typed up resignation letter. As I handed it to her, her eyes were focused on the envelope. It was easier for me to say, "I'm sorry to do this, but I'm giving you my letter of resignation and two weeks notice." It's not the most fun thing in the world to do, but you will feel so relieved after it's all over. I do understand about your MD, as I have MS. When you overdo it at work, you suffer more at home. Like for me, I'd walk into the house and take a 3-hour nap and husband would have to cook dinner. I was in an electric scooter for about 2 years many years ago. It is tough resigning yourself that you need it. But after I got it, I was so thrilled to be able to go to the store once again and go to the zoo and places like that....and have the energy to do it! I thought I'd be very self-conscious of being in a scooter, and I will admit you will a little bit at first. But you get over it quickly when you realize what a life saver it is.
