its not that difficult when you've got a luck of this kind
im elated. simply elated.
today was my last day working in Sourcing at GE. I think its fair to say I was well-liked, on account of the fact that I left with $120 in gift cards and millions of thanks. the people there were great.. just really great. After I had packed everything up, given everything back, and said all my goodbyes, I got up to leave. And I just stood there, at my desk, for at least a minute, just looking at everything. I stood there holding all my desk decorations, my thank you card, my paperwork.. just stood and stared. I didn't want to leave.
I think that was a first for me. Even if I liked work, in the end, I always wanted to get away from the place and leave it behind. Leave it in my past. But I really hope that the people I met in Sourcing are not in my past. When I start back up at GE in the fall, I hope we go to lunches and chat on sametime (GE IM) and generally keep in touch.
So after I tore myself away from my desk, I walked downstairs and outside into the parking lot and the perfect weather of bright blue skies with fluffy white clouds and warm sun. I got in the car, rolled down the windows, and put on my favorite tunes. I spread my arms wide open out the windows to feel the breeze. I felt simply invincible. It was one of those times where you just cant help but squeal and grin and cry with happiness at the same time. So I did. I drove home trying to hug the world.
And now here I sit, with the prospect of a week off.. a football game, hanging out with cbus buddies for the first time in a long time, cedar point with mike and his 21st bday. I know it all will come to an end.. this bliss and perfect happiness.. so I’m just going to live it up while I can
