Today is the last day
I'd like to thank -*EVERYONE*- that has been by me during my years at Barnes and Noble. It's been a hard though interesting ride if I do say so myself. I started in Oct. of '02 as a way to start easing myself from my husband at the time. I knew I had to get a job and insurience for Bunny and I because I had a feeling I was going to be divorced soon. Sure enough 14 days before my 5th wedding anniversery I was filing divorce papers. I had my job and the family environment there to keep me somewhat stable.
Managers came and went as well as other co-workers. Some for better jobs, others passed on and I will truly miss them. I think what's the hardest to say good-bye to is my section. It was mine and a dear friend of mine's as well, we both had a love of cross stitching and history. After she passed on, I relied on that section to keep me sane because I could feel her around me. I called her my sister because next to Raven and Artana she was as close to family as I could have without being related. And now I'm leaving it, I'm happy though because I know there are a few others there that remember my dear friend and will take care of the section as well.
I know I was caractorized as a scape goat in that store and with the DM's big vist coming next week, I don't think I can be that goat again. The goat -/*IS*/- escaping for a real and professional job. I called Follett's yesterday and talked to Mark. Everything was in order and they are waiting for me to come on Apr. 2ed. I'll be making double my current salery and I'll have a cubical to boot. I'll be doing what I like to do with books, researching. I know it's going to be a change.
Nana is already dreading waking up at 7 am to take Bunny to the bus stop. Bunny doesn't want me to leave BN due to her wanting to see me at work and letting my mom take care of her. I'll be home now for dinner, and I'll be home on the weekends. I never thought that would sound so sweet to my ears. I do have to thank my college friend Chris Beggs, though I'm not sure if he as LJ but it doesn't matter. He works at Follett's and he was part of my references. I know that he did get something and for his growing family I'm glad he'll get something for it.
Well I do have to get ready for my last day. No one knows yet and I won't post on my myspace account until tomorrow. I want to walk out of there with a smile and wave and the illusion they'll all see me in a week. My waving good bye and heading out, will be a small gesture that I know two people couldn't do. So for Doris and Kay I dedicate my last day to. I miss them and I know they're waiting for me when I'm old and gray. Today is my last day and I'm very happy for once.
