Today is my last day at my current job. It isn’t my official last day, I still have a few days of vacation that I am going to take to wrap up the year. I know, a last day on a Monday. That seems weird to most people but there were a couple of reasons for why I did it that way. My boss and the chick that has the office next to me, namely. They won’t be back from vacation then so I won’t have to ruin my last day with seeing them. Oh the joy!
Otherwise, it is a sad day for me. As horrible as things have been at my job lately, there are quite a few people that I have really enjoyed working with. They have become my dysfunctional family of sorts. I doubt they will miss me as much as I miss them but there is always that possibility. I would like to think that I have made a difference there even if it is in some small way. I would like to think that I will be remembered and thought of fondly. Most of all though, I hope that management realizes how much I did once I am gone and realizes the mistake that they made. Yeah, like that’s going to happen.
It has been a rough half of the year and one which I don’t want to have to repeat any time soon. The stress that we (my family & I) have been through has been astronomical. So many unanswered questions. So many uncertainties. Thankfully that is all gone and it is time to move on to something better I hope. I will miss working in the plant and having the Operations guys to bullshit with but things just weren’t meant to be there. I held my head high and I can honestly say that I handled the whole situation with maturity and grace. I am proud of myself, as well I should be.
