- Making excel spreadsheets, and color coding them
- Writing on triplicate forms with Uniball pens
- Making very straight lines with rulers
- Figuring out percentage differences after revising orders
- Addressing envelopes in fun hand-writing
Things that make me stressed:
- Buyers that demand last minute hurdle jumping, and have the audacity to do so with a bad attitude.
- Finding my 401K (where in the world is my 401K?) and figuring out how to transfer it to...somewhere...?
- Figuring out how to get all my insurance related medical bills paid before my insurance runs out.
- Figuring out what I'll do for insurance when I have it no longer.
- Figuring out how to transfer bizillions of personal emails to MY personal email and deleting them for all time/eternity from the work server.
Words that make me feel like this year has not be wasted after all:
- "You will be sooooooooooooooooooooo missed……………………But the kids that you teach, will just love you. I can see you as a teacher. Good Luck with everything that you do in the future."
- "I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated your great attitude everyday. You have set the standard for how to approach your job and your life as a whole. I wish you continued success in all that you do. Please keep in touch and if you should ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask."
- "I cannot believe the time has come for your departure! You will be missed more than you know; your spirit and attitude are infectious, and you are a joy to work with. I have no doubt you will be successful in your new endeavors (I was a coach for many years, and nearly went into teaching myself; still wonder if I should have…), and I wish you much happiness. We will be green with envy, but don’t let that stop you from sending pictures from France. Have a wonderful trip!"
- "And we are more then blessed to have you walk into our lives. It was a life changing experience for me and one which I will never forget.
Laissez les bons temps rouler"
I have one more day at my job. I have a million things to do before I go. I feel so blessed to be leaving on the good note I am. I have a gajillion things to look forward to. THIS daydream is about to come to pass-- and I will be waving at you from the Eiffel Tower soon enough.

Praise the Lord for hard lessons and long, long awaited fruit.

Enjoy the heck out of those not-so-enjoyable work things cause after today, YOU ARE DONE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!
I'm proud of you, Gretsky. You were a very, very faithful worker in a sometimes less-than-stimulating job. And now you're done!!!!!
Although, until you leave for France, I'm thinking that you still need to occasionally make time to send me big ol' emails during the work day. Otherwise, I will surely die.
