Well, so much for that
I was talking to my co-worker this morning, and I had mentioned that I really wasn't sure what I wanted to give as my last working date. She agreed that we should ask my replacement when she would be available to start, and then go from there. I guess my co-worker told my boss, which was fine, because I had a feeling that my boss would be asking me today anyway, so my boss told me that my replacement would be able to start work right away. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but then, at the end of the day, my boss came up to me and said "wow, I can't believe I'm only going to see you one more time!" I was floored, and said, "what?!" She then told me that she would have my replacement start NEXT WEEK!
I didn't think she'd move on that quickly, damn! I asked if she wanted to have some overlap, so that I could stick around for at least a couple more weeks, but she said that the girl had experience working as a surgical tech, so it wasn't necessary for me to stick around. I know I wanted to stop working earlier than later, but I wasn't expecting this early!
I came home and told Steve about it, and he's just fine with it. He said that it was probably better for me, as he could tell my heart hasn't been in my work lately. I told him the story about my boss, and then the pregnancy hormones started, and I burst into tears. Like he said, I had been so loyal to them all along, and I feel like I've just been cast aside without a second thought.
Ultimately, I know this will be good for me. I'll be able to rest up, relax, get the house ready, and all that good stuff. I just feel weird about it, ya know?

That is one thing I hate about employment here, it is at will. And I try to look at that when contemplating something like you were. I mean, yes you want to be loyal and all, but all the employer utimatly cares about is who can fill the job and what is best for them. Sucks.
But you can now enjoy your new freedom! And hey, maybe we can hang out more!

At one time you had like 5 jobs and I was never able to keep up with which one you left and when. ;)
It is weird that they would end you like that, but like someone else said, that happens. I also once gave 2 weeks notice at a job and they told me Friday would be my last day, but they would pay me for the whole week. That's pretty normal, I think. Weird in your case, but lots of times normal.
