2 Weeks Notice

So, for those of you who haven't heard, I have officially put in my two weeks notice. My last day working for the Credit Union here will be the 29th of August, and it is coming up fast.

I received an email today from the HR director. She wished me well, and would I please complete an exit interview? I got this as I was waiting on someone's credit to be pulled, and I almost collapsed into tears when I read it. It's a good thing I didn't- the person in front of me would have feared their credit was bad enough to make me cry!

I knew it was going to be excruciatingly difficult for me to leave this company, but I don't think I really grasped the depth of how attached I had become to everyone here. I keep saying that there really isn't anything keeping me here, but I have a bad feeling I was lying to everyone, including myself, about it.

We, as a couple, are lucky. Smitty has friends who have been far more than accommodating, and we could never thank them enough for all they have done. But, what about me? I have married into this set of friends, but the only thing I have going for me up there is the fact that I have a great job offer, and I think that finally sunk in tonight, and I became deeply saddened. I am leaving everything behind, and, tonight, the gravity of that statement made it hard to look forward to the future.

Things always look better in the morning. On that note, Goodnight.
