Well today was my last day in my current position... now I won't be the V.P. so what do I rename the blog? I don't know I am trying to figure this all out. I gave my notice 2 weeks ago and have been trying to wrap up any projects I had going and turn over projects to other people.
This has been a very odd time. I was not looking for another position, I really was not. I was contacted and at first I said I was not interested but in this day and age you cannot afford to not pursue opportunity. I listened to what they had to say and took several weeks to check into the company, the people in the company and weigh my options... they made an offer, I countered, they gave me what I wanted and I gave my notice.
I will really miss the good people that I worked with and it is very hard to put so much of yourself into a company and then leave. It is like leaving a child that you have tried to raise. I did not think my boss (the owner) was even going to acknowledge me leaving other than to answer me when I wanted to assign some of my tasks to other people. You could have knocked me down with a feather when I opened my going away card and he had not only signed it but written a message to me thanking me for my hard work and I don't mind telling you I was brought to tears but quickly got it together. I was unable to hold back the water works by the end of the day as he surprised me even more. He was leaving for the day and came into the office where I was, he kept coming closer and closer and put out his arms. I stood and he gave me a hug, a real hug. It was all I could do to not burst into tears right then but I managed to hold it together to say good bye and let him know he could call me if he needed anything. He left and I cried. It was like he said all the things with that one hug that he had been unable to say for the past 4 1/2 years. He is not a man of excess words and is not comfortable with confrontation or emotion so it really meant a lot to me.
This day has drained me and I am tired.
