[ WP ] A person is stood in their bosses office , getting ready to telling them they quit

I paced the room with the entire weight of my body crashing down onto the floor, taking huge gargantuan steps. A small voice in my head was telling me that the plush carpet would be muffling the steps, but I really did n't care. I knew that I was striding around powerfully and deliberately, preparing to do something important for once. All the paper-pushing, emailing nearby people messages that would be spoken more easily, schmoozing with clients of my boss' clients for nothing more than wasted time. Today was the day it ended. 
 
 As soon as I'd thought of the bad, I willed myself into thinking about the good. After these painful few minutes I was entirely free to spend time on the positives in life, so I figured I could give myself the pleasure of beginning a few minutes early; at least mentally. Thanks to all the downtime here ( the same downtime I'd usually be cursing, but not today! ) I'd had time to plan my finances, and invest in some solid stock. Those savings were going to get me a round trip ticket across the world; end to end! I was going to live the simple life; spend a little bit of money and have a lot of happiness. Just like in the movies; sell up, move out, be free! 
 
... Then I thought of one of those movies. The main character breaks his arm and has to go back to work. In India. Cleaning sewers. With a broken arm. Come to think of it, he was n't too different to me; just enough money saved up to travel, no real plan for if anything went wrong, no-one to fall back on if he ran into trouble. 
 
 And just like that, my feeling of complete power had been taken away from me. My heart still told me I needed to leave this hellhole, but my brain kicked into overdrive. `` You need more money if you're going to travel the world.'' `` You wo n't get as far as the city limits before something goes wrong.'' And then my boss walked in. Why could n't he have walked in thirty seconds before, when I was feeling on top of the world? 
 
 `` What's up, Jerry?'' 
 
 `` Uhhhh...''
