I have decided that I love notice periods: the longer the better. For a change, you can do what you want (even if it means laughing at your manager’s face because she just crossed the boundaries of ridicule) and not be worried about how it will affect your appraisal, you love the fact that your manager is scared to bully you because she knows that you can screw her case in the exit interview, and of course, you are no longer burdened with fudging your hours charged on projects, of taking inane trainings to comply with the mandatory requirements, or filling up hundred useless trackers which really add no value to anybody. But the best part of the notice period is the FREEDOM: the freedom to speak your mind, the freedom to disagree, the freedom to be rude. Even though I don’t yet know what lies ahead, I totally love being in the notice period; it’s a luxury that most people miss out on because they are so excited about joining the new job and try to buy out their notice period or adjust it with their leaves. Me, I like the extended honeymoon phase…
And on a totally different note, Happy Durga Puja!

@prachetash
so so so like u to be mean n nitpick on stupid mistakes.
I wish I could say the same..! But everytime I'm in limbo between two jobs, I worry more about my next job rather than the one I'm leaving (pathetic, I know!).
And for someone who's changed 5 jobs in 20 months, that's a lot of experience of the Honeymoon Phase!
@ssoggo
5 jobs in 20 months!!! You clearly are heading towards a record!
