Four short years in a very small cube – 6’x8′ if I’m lucky. How did I manage to put so much stuff in there? I have been bringing a bag full of stuff home almost every night this week. I STILL have more stuff to pack up. As I’ve sorted through drawers, files, bins and so on, I’ve managed to fill up my paper recycling bin twice.
I’ve crossed a ton of things off my to do list and still it grows. How come it is so much work to leave a job? I’ve cleaned out email files, electronic files, moved files, and trained people to do tasks I’m the only one doing. My to do list just keeps growing… I keep finding more things that I need to deal with before I leave. It is INSANE…
The good news? And there definitely is good news… I have four days of work left at my current job – that works out to be eight more times commuting to/from Madison. Four more long days…. In case you couldn’t tell I’m definitely counting down…
Tomorrow I have an appointment to meet with my new boss to fill out paperwork. I am keeping all my vacation, personal, and sick time. I think I’ll even be able to take the days off I had planned on taking. Life is moving forward and I’m looking forward to the change.
I took some time today to encourage a friend to go for my job. Her skills are amazing and she will be a great fit for the position. I’m hoping she will get it and the transition will be fairly smooth.
Four down… four to go….
