so.. i knew there would be some weirdness and mixed feelings about leaving the job i've called home for the past 3-4 years, not counting my year-long touring stint with olympia.
i've learned so much here. this job was the official start of my career. i walked in here with a shoddy resume and a story about being a touring musician and they bought it (thank god!) and over the course of six months i went from being the front desk receptionist to managing projects by myself on our biggest account and being the person the client called to get things done.
that, my friends, is a good feeling.
i had so many amazing bosses, co-workers, teammates. i had some crazy batshit clients. i had some really cool clients.
i am moving on to a bigger and better opportunity. something i've dreamed about doing and now it's becoming a reality. it's a huge step forward for me and will enable me to do some really cool things.
and yet, here i am, thursday. the day before my last day. and i am sorta packing up my shit and kinda plodding along. i stopped doing work an hour ago. i should be home by now, and yet, i'm sitting here kinda dicking around. i think it's because i'm going to really miss this place. miss my office. miss the people i work with. miss my little mac laptop. REALLY gonna miss my little mac laptop. i'm getting a PC laptop at the new job and that kinda kills my soul a little.
i'm going to miss my office BFF mary beth. she's been such an amazing friend and confidante during the past year. we've eaten $5 footlong subs and talked about our love lives and our careers and everything in between more times than i can count.
it's going to be hard to say goodbye tomorrow to this place that i've considered my job-home. it will be bittersweet.
i know i'm doing the right thing though, so that makes this difficult thing a lot easier.
i look forward to the new challenges that await me, but i will definitely miss this place and miss the friends i've made during my time here.
one more day! then freedom week!
