2002.05.05: Last day on the job
Today was my last day at work. I'm surprisingly sad.
I'm not sad to be leaving and nobody is sad to see me go. That's what makes me sad.
I'm sad that I didn't enjoy work more, that I didn't find some way to make this a great job, that I didn't work at it harder, that I didn't find some way to endear myself to everyone. I feel like there could have been, must have been, some way to have loved this job. I'm filled with regret that I never found it.
So I leave my job, relieved to be gone, yet mourning a year of my life that, in this respect, failed to live up to potential.

I, personally, am not at all sad to leave the company from which I was just laid off, but finding new work is driving me nuts. Have I already said how envious I am of you? :)

Today is my last day at my job. I worked part time and was told that by getting my Bachelor's Degree I would qualify for full time. I graduate Saturday, May 10, 2003 and all I got was a big "Thanks for working here" pat on the back. I live in western PA and am moving to San Diego, CA in the next week or two. The weather sucks here anyhow and I am tired of the poor job situation here. Work is work, but sunshine, the beach, and being on the map is very exciting.
