It's done. It's over. The torment for the time has ended.
My final day consisted of a little bit of joking around. A little bit of work that I got done. A lunch with the office manager and boss jr. Final hugs, several final hugs. More hugs. I got a ton of hugs today. An early birthday card that is beautiful and much appreciated (I got yelled at for opening it early....oooops).
One almost cried, which made another almost cry. No one officially cried. There was ice cream cake and a candle. Everyone wished me luck. It's like I'm some how living out their wants and needs of leaving there of my own will and going on to something that I've always wanted. Something they haven't been able to do, for some. And others who have tried and came back. Then those who are trying to leave and just can't seem to. The ones who are born to the place they are in I feel for because they didn't get to live whatever dream they had when they were children.
Today was a good day for being the end of a chapter in my life. A nice, long, discussion with boss jr regarding morale, problems, ideas, and hopes. A final long talk about being appreciated and wished more good luck and hopes that everything works out.
A collection of last minute items. A favorite, hard earned coffee mug, hand lotion, a copy of the final time sheet for records purposes. Wondering if they are going to pay me what I had left in vacation and sick pay. They did when the one girl left. So why not me? I've earned that time. I put in long, hard, stress-filled hours for that privilige. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will.
I promised I would keep in touch and I will. I promised that I'd go to lunch with people and let htem know things are going well. I'm still upset about a few things that someone had no right revealing and I will always know that I can't trust that person with any personal information again. Sad, I know.
Ok well. Off for now. Perhaps a new post shall appear tomorrow. We will see. Laters.
