Anonymous at work

Avoiding Getting Fired Before I Leave

#myworldaround

Look, keeping myself anonymous at work isn’t just for the drama, it actually makes sense. As of today, I’m still working in Madrid—boss, meetings, emails, and my best “I’m here, 100% committed” face all in place. But in my head… well, in my head, I’m already walking through a spiritual temple in Japan, deeply pondering whether I’ll have sushi or ramen for dinner.

• Mission: Stay Under the Radar (For Now) •

The thing is, my boss is a good guy and a few higher-ups trust me too, so the plan is to avoid them finding out about my upcoming escape and me becoming the office gossip. I can already picture it:

— “Hey, did you hear Fulanita is planning a huge trip across Asia?”
— Awkward silence.
— A vein popping in my boss’s forehead as he glares at me from across the room.
— Two seconds later: “Can you step into my office for a moment?”

And there I’d be, flashing the most forced smile of my life, sitting there like someone guilty of zero crimes but still feeling like I have something to hide. Meanwhile, in my head, the only thing I hear is: “Run, reckless one, run”.

• The Plan Until D-Day Arrives •

So, until I have that official chat and can say goodbye on the best terms possible (and with a resignation letter in hand—one that may or may not mention my backpacking adventure), I’ll keep my identity ninja-level secret. Let’s just say staying anonymous at work makes everything smoother and drama-free.
In the meantime, I’ll keep ticking off tasks, putting on my best face as a responsible, available team player, and replying to emails with the classic: “Always happy to assist you.”
While in my head, I’m rehearsing the moment I finally get to say: “It’s been a pleasure, but the world is calling.”

So, while I keep drafting reports and checking off tasks, I’ll continue with my real master plan. I’ve got just one mission left: hold it together until D-Day…
And then, backpack on, off to conquer the worl—Asia (for now).
