So, i've been at the same job for over 9 years. That's a very long time when you're 29!
Today my boss sent me an e-mail asking if I wanted a pot-luck or get lunch from somewhere for my "last" week (i'll still be lurking around there, just not hours people are usually there). It's a bitter-sweet feeling.
Anyways, i told her just whatever is easier that people want to do. I really didn't want to make a big deal about it. I don't want to start crying or anything - not that i would - but sometimes i cry. Like you know when you get that Birthday dinner song - sometimes that can make me cry. Or when I'm mad about something and i have to talk about that something I'll start crying. Pretty much until I know how i feel, internally I don't know how to feel so i cry. It's rather annoying and so EMBARRASING if it happens around someone...anyways!
During our meeting today they took a vote and decided to get lunch from somewhere. My friend was like lets do pizza. Hmmm...pizza is not my first, second, third, forth choice.
Later when i was back in my bosses office she asked me if i wanted Pei Wei or Olive Garden. That sounds way better than pizza. They are sweet!
I'm sorry! We so do not have to get pizza. It's your last week and you have been there FOREVER. I don't know what I am going to do when you are gone! :(
