Everyone at the office pitched in and had a big lunch as a going away gesture for me. It was awesome! Especially the "bucket" of tater tots!! Anyone from GP who is reading this... Thank You!
Tomorrow is my last day, but today I actually cleaned out my desk and threw out all the old files that had collected for the last 3.5 years today. What a mess!
Reality has really sunk in now and I'm off on a new adventure. Working at GP has been a great experience that I will always remember but it's time to move on.
Someone told me today that it's good to be scared. That's nice to know because the closer it gets, the more I move from scared to terrified. I hope the butterflies in my stomach will carry me to great places where I will find happiness, success and fulfillment. I'm usually not this mushy about leaving a job, but this one is different. It was my first job in a new career and my first job since moving from my hometown in Indiana. My friends and the people I know since I moved here 4 years ago I met through this job. I also have more at stake than I've ever had before either. I guess that's what makes it much different than the other jobs I've left.
I'm going to miss my view of downtown Boca Grande and the ride in to work over the bridges and the water (isn't it funny what we discover that we'll miss). I won't miss the chaos and unorganization that I've lived with for all this time. I tried to change that, but discovered that was an exercise in futility. I'm watching my replacement come in with all the ideas of whipping this little corner into shape... I wish her luck!
