i just got back from telling stella about my new job. stella was in a meeting when i first popped in, so i had to wait a while, and mimi put two and two together while i was out finding lunch. so when i went upstairs to tell stella, she knew. and she had time to prepare.
it went well. obviously she's not happy to see me go, but she's excited for me, and she totally gets that young people move on. there was some crying, but that happens when people are friends. and i realized today, stella *wants* to be friends with her employees. that's something i've always longed for in a boss. how awesome to have found it. :D
i won't say all the anxiety about the meeting was unwarranted. first off, i couldn't control it. but second, it showed me how much i honestly care about stella and the work i've done with her. there were days when i looked forward to leaving moss landing behind... but not many. more often than not, i looked forward to work.
i also realized, just as i sat down at her desk, that formally resigning was the last stepping stone in the Accepting The New Job path. that's a big deal to me.
but now that it's done... well, it's done. life is actually going to be pretty normal for the next three weeks. things won't start taking off until late april. and i'm ok with that. a buffer zone will be good for adjustment.
now, i reheally need to get cracking on charts!! i'm late, i'm late, for a very important date...
love kittie
