Went in to the office today. Picked up 11 years of stuff and dropped off my work keys, key card, and phone with charger. The best part though, of course, was seeing everyone. I love those people. I also love that place. I think it’s because they are there, and so many great memories of being around them are there.
I thought I would cry more, but I managed to keep it under control. Stan gave me a card I read on the way home which made me cry. I know there will be more crying in regards to work in the future. For now though, it was just so nice to go in and see everyone. I hadn’t been there since my last work day at the end of May. At the time I didn’t know it would be my last day, but it was. It was lovely getting to hug everyone. Chat with everyone. See everyone. I missed a couple, and will try to see them on future visits, but I got to see a lot of them. My ex co workers, my friends. And again I will say…. I love those people. Stellar to the last of them. I was lucky to work with them and will continue being lucky in remaining their friend.
So glad you were able to get into the office and see everyone. I know how hard it is to leave that wonderful group of people. I did it twice…once when I “moved” to the DA’s office and then again when I retired. They’re the best. Don’t worry. They’ll not forget you.
