Let The Tears Splash All Over You

Today is my last day at work. I've known this day was coming since the beginning of October. But that doesn't seem to be cushioning the blow.

I am an odd mix of emotions since I've been over this place for quite a while....I've wanted to leave for some time. But the circumstances are not exactly what I had in mind. I am very controlling when it comes to change....I get cranky when things happen that I did not make a pro/con list first! And no matter what, it is still hard to leave the people I have worked with for the past 6 years. And, to be quite honest, I am scared. This is the absolute worst time to be out of work. I survived the post-9/11 unemployment boom....but this is much much worse.

I hope my temp agencies can find me work. I hope I don't lose my house. I hope I don't get behind on bills or get turned over to collection agencies. I hope I can find a new job.

So today will be a rough day. I have already cried once (it's the hugs, people....they get me every time). Tonight my co-workers and I will be going out for dinner and drinks. Once that glass of wine hits, the floodgates will be opened with no ceasing!

Here's to surviving the storm and having my own success story to tell.....
