(I'm feeling melancholy)

Today, as I get ready to go to work at Lowe’s for the very last time, I have mixed feelings. I have been there almost three years and have made good friends, had some great times, and managed to survive the not so great times. I will hate to say goodbye because some of those people, I will probably never see again outside of work even if I stop and visit the store on occasion. I really have enjoyed working with many of them and I will definitely stay in contact with those I am the closest to. I already have a long list of emails and cell numbers I have collected the last few days. The job was fine but it never really challenged me to my full potential, so it is time to move on to greener pastures and avoid any further job burn out. It will be the people I miss the most; plain and simple. Next week I start a brand new job with a completely different working atmosphere and I am very excited about it. Working in a retail atmosphere (even if it was the back end of it) was never right for me and I am fortunate to come across this new job that will challenge me intellectually and still have a social element. It has been very tough trying to stay focused on work for the past two weeks because I know that I have this other opportunity waiting on me. I hope everyone there the best and I have a feeling that today is going to be somewhat somber. A bittersweet ending to another chapter in my life and I hope that I don’t get too emotional. I hate to cry in front of people.

It is always tough to leave a job, even a job that wasn't great, when you know you won't be seeing work friends again. On the other hand, when you move on, you'll be opening yourself up to the possibility of maybe meeting someone who will be more than a work friend. My very best friend is someone I used to work with years ago. It was the very best thing I got out of that job.

I hope you love the new job, Suze. And I hope you meet some AFTER-work friends.

Hi Suze. Change is often a bittersweet experience. Everything you write here says that this change is necessary for your personal growth. Wishing you all the best on your new venture! :)
