Last Day

Okay I am getting kind of anxious about tomorrow. My last day...wow..my mom tried to warn me that I would have mixed feelings and I didn't listen I really should have as now I am quite wired and anxious. I need to go to bed and relax. I did get my special project finished and I will post pictures later.

A few thoughts

My mind is kind of scattered today. Yesterday was the last day working with a majority of the people I work with at the old job. We had a celebration lunch, in which they made sure I had a gluten free meal, which was incredibly nice. I said some goodbyes but then it got too much so I left without seeking out everyone including one of my dearest friends. But as I see it, that is one of the relationships that I plan to actively keep alive so it would be goodbye anyway. But I decide to do a little special project for her and hopefully I will get it done today so that I can leave it on her desk tomorrow when I am at work.

Snow finally!

We have been dealing with fog/smog for the last week, which is very yucky. But it started to rain on Friday and Saturday, then yesterday Snow! I love it. I was the perfect gift for my last Sunday working! I have only three shifts left at the old job and then next monday, I go in to sign the papers! I am laughing that my last official day is 13 years from my first full day. I just can't get over how that all is working out!

Knitting a goodbye

Well as I am in the habit of knitting socks for occasions, I couldn't help myself from knitting a pair of socks for the day I sign my severance package. So one sock is complete...now I need to finish the other one!

An awesome day- full of blessings

Wow what a day. I really didn't understand the emotions I would have at the end of my job. Today I had to go to my department manager and give me official notice that I would not be extending my time with the company. It was actually hard to get the words out but once I did, it was total relief! I am much more relaxed and excited for the new adventure! I did have a few concerns about my new job as the person I was replacing had been going back and forth about leaving the job. It was kind of nerve racking for me as I have a totally different style than she does. But good news, when I went into work today, she told me that her last day is tomorrow as she has found another job. I am really excited for her as it is an awesome opportunity for her and will fit with her long term career goals. I am now feeling that this job is mine and that makes me even more excited.

So as the countdown goes, I am loving the feeling of more freedom and less stress. (more time to knit!!!! Yahooo!) I am going to miss the friends I have at the other job but those who are true friends I will keep forever.

Moving on

Well I counted down the days yesterday at work. I only go into the office for full days 7 more times. Wow! I can't believe that it is almost here. My last day in the office is exactly 13 years from my first day. That is so wild. January 31st.

I have started to bring things home from the office that made my life nice there. So Saturday my Hawaiian bears from Bea came home to now grace my bedroom bookshelf as my new office is open to the public and I don't want to lose this precious pals!




It is seeming very strange to know that the last day is in sight. They did offer to extend 30 days, but with my other job already in the works, I declined. So on to having weekends and holidays off! Yeah!

First project for 2009 complete.

Some knitting has been done this year. I was half way through these two pairs of socks when the new year began. They are socks for my Music Minister and his wife. He is a big Broncos fan so I tried to find a colorway close to that. He wears a size 12 shoe so I used the remaining yarn out of the skein for his wife's sock so that using two skeins I got a pair for both of them. Now I can wait to give them their socks.
