the Walrus said, to talk of other things; of ships and string and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings..."
So here we are. I have 2 more days of work and then, after 20 years in this building, in this institution, I will be gone. I began my career as a work-study student (not a typical 18 year old, more like a 43 year old), and the week I finished my course work I was hired as an employee.
I have held 4 different positions, I have learned and grown; worried and celebrated; been trained and trained. I hope I have been supportive, compassionate and helpful. I hope I am remembered fondly, but I think that is a pipe dream, if history here is any indication.
I have made many friends and had a few wonderful mentors. I leave with a mixture of sadness and joy; a sense of worry and a sense of adventure. But I have done all I can and I feel in my heart of hearts I am doing the right thing for the right reason.
And so Friday 12/21/12 is my last day of work... in a way, the Mayans were right... it will be the end of the world as I know it... but I will wake up to a new dawn and a new beginning.
Thank you all for taking this journey with me.
