It's the end.
Today was my last day at KMA, my last day at a job I've held for a little over two and a half years, which, now that I think about it, was both a really long and really short time.
I'm feeling mostly what Robert McCloskey describes in his picture book Time of Wonder (which, incidentally, is pretty much my favorite picture book ever): "A little bit sad about the place you are leaving, a little bit glad about a place you are going."
I feel wistful and happy and sad and relieved and (guiltily) rather glad to be getting away from customer service, at least customer service in a retail business. I also know that in a day or a week or six months, I'll feel some serious pangs of missing the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful people I've known there for the past couple of years.
I'll miss them.

Even though you'll miss the West, the East is excited to have you!!! I can't wait till you get here!
Yay, East! :D Which reminds me...I've been looking at Amtrak prices... ;)
I once held a temp job that I swear was the ninth circle of Dante's Inferno (complete with freezing gale--by golly that place was cold!). It was life-sucking drudgery, and yet when another job offer came my way, I actually hesitated because knew I would really miss my coworkers.
Didn't hesitate long, though.
