Bittersweet Goodbyes

While I am excited to begin my new journey into grad school, and I know it is the right thing for me to do, I am also really sad about leaving the place that has been my second home for the lst 2 years. Today is my second to last day at work, I already said goodbye to some of my coworkers that are currently on vacation. I know tomorrow I am going to get emotional when saying goodbye to everyone. When you spend 40 hours a week at a job the people you work with become your family, you see them more than anyone else day in and day out. They're the people you can rely on to help you. I work with a group of GREAT people, everyone has a wonderful work ethic and is so helpful. I hope nothing for the best for all of my coworkers and my soon to be former employer. The excitement of vacation in California is shadowed by the sadness of knowing this will likely be the last time I see any of these people. Nevermore will I get to be bombarded and barked at by our mascot Chaucer, a 205lb English Mastiff.

I know once I am done saying my goodbyes I will feel happy and relieved to be moving forward towards my career goals. I am just dreading the goodbyes the way I was dreading telling my boss I am leaving, I hate to dissapoint people.

So farewell Latitudes, I will always think of you fondly and be greatful for the lessons I have learn and the confidence I have gained while working here. And thank you to all my fabulous co-workers for lifting me up when I have stumbled, your patience is a virtue. I wish the best of luck to you all.
