- 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.
