My last real day at my job. I've already cried.

One of the admin. ladies made me cry in my first 5 minutes. I came into my office and there was a gift bag on my desk. There was a goodbye card inside with lots of nice sentiments written and a beautiful pen from Things Remembered engraved with my initials. I was very surprised. I knew she liked me, but you know how it is...

My daughter graduated from preschool last night and I was able to keep from crying (even though I was SURE I would cry). My husband said to me when he found out I didn't cry, "What? Are you a ROBOT?" (he cried). I cry at getting a pen, but not at my daughter's graduation from preschool. With all the sentimental presentations they did and everything.

I guess it only happens when I'm not expecting it to happen. I didn't cry at my brother's wake, but started crying so hard during his funeral when I was trying to do a reading that I almost couldn't finish it. I thought I'd be much more controlled there! You know... the whole., "keep it together, man! There are eyes on you."

What-EVER!

Hang in there, Donna! New challenges await you. Do you start the new job on Monday or did you take some time off in between?

Start Monday. I'm a glutton for punishment!

I remember leaving a job a few years back that I liked but hated the company itself. Actually it was a mass layoff and I was so happy when I found out. They gave us a two month notice! It was then that I started my housecleaning business. I too was shocked though at how hard the last day there was. It was sad to know that for the most part I would not see my co-workers again. We were all going off in different directions. I keep in touch with a few but not many. So Donna I wish you luck wih getting through today and the breakfast they have planned for you tomorrow. After tomorrow you can be excited even more about your new job, new title and GREAT pay.

Donna,
Maybe it's just that you were already emotional from your daughter's graduation from pre-school that all it took was one more tug at your emotional strings to have the tears start flowing. Same with your brother's funeral. That was nice of your co-worker too, have a great last real day!
