My last day will be Friday, June 17th. The decision to go was both easier and harder than I thought it would be. (I know. Quite the contradiction.) The hardest part is walking away from some truly amazing people. On even the hardest of days – they made me laugh. They heard about my house-buying horrors, my crazy puppy stories, held me up while my brother went off to war and saw me walk into countless walls (But let’s not dwell on that…mmkay?! Especially since none of them were fast enough with their cameras).
I’m in a little bit of denial right now…but soon my customers will have to be transitioned to other team members. I am most definitely going to miss some of my customers!!
If I’m lucky, I’ll get out without a cake or any attention. I’m much better at drifting away quietly… Though, I have a running joke with my old manager. Every time I see someone else leave and have a party – I tell her I want a puppy as a going away gift instead. Let’s see her pull THAT one off! *giggle*
What comes next? Just stick around and I’ll tell you all about it.
(And a GINOURMOUS “thank you” goes to Kristin, Heather, Jane and Mrs. Jones. Whether they realize it or not, they helped me be brave enough to realize that it’s my time to go.)

ReplyDeleteBest of luck in your upcoming adventures! Sounds like change is happening and it's a GOOD thing.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what comes next for you. Wishing you lots of luck!!
ReplyDelete:) I'm very proud of you! Also, um, yeah, Trip is definitely going to the wedding with me. Uh ... should I kick myself now or later?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the changes. Enjoy the journey.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this IS exciting! Can't wait to hear what comes next!
ReplyDeleteI wish you well!! I like drifting away quietly but it rarely happens. Let us know what kind of cake you get. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I'm so happy for you. I know that was a hard decision but based on everything you've said about that job, it was definitely the right choice.
ReplyDeleteYou're last day is my Birthday!! Congrats for leaving, after that many years it takes someone very brave to do so!!! I think great things are going to be in your future!
ReplyDeleteIt's very tough to leave a work place, no matter if you like it or not. You spend LOTS of time there, after all. But good for you for leaving on your time, when you knew it was right.
ReplyDeleteThat is so difficult, I was only at my job for a year before I left for my new job (that I start tomorrow) and it was hard enough to tell them I'm leaving--I can only imagine how difficult it was to tell them after almost 8 years. Good luck on your future endeavors.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally catching up, and I think I just jumped for joy. So happy for you. I better here what's next ASAP. Sorry I've been AWOL this past week. You are loved and there is MUCH well wishing coming your way from Alabama!!! (EB sends the pups her love too!) Talk to you soon! (And I'm so glad I've been able to help at all!)
ReplyDeleteWoo, that is a big step - I am sure it is bittersweet... enjoy the people the next few days! And I walk into walls all the time ;) PLEASE do a post on your sweet weenies!!
ReplyDeleteYou should do what Michael did on The Office. Leave on Thursday when everyone thinks you are leaving on Friday. That way, if they're planning some kind of bon voyage, you don't have to be there. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a hard decision to make, but I'm sure you made the right one. I think leaving any job is hard, especially if you like the people. But a new chapter in your life is about to start and I'm excited to see where to takes you!
ReplyDeleteIve been there hun, it is so tough, but in the end, you always feel better. Its just another chapter in your life. Think of it not as an ending, but as a beginning to a new and wonderful world! :)
