Subject: Good Wishes on your new job.

Emelita,

I will be working out the Hebron Office tomorrow, but I want to wish you well on your new job.

Wishing you a Great Life,
Dianne

Front Lobby

As if it wasn’t hard enough that almost everyone in my office told me that they hated to see me go, now I’m starting to get farewell emails. I didn’t think it would be this scary to leave a job that I felt I dispised for so long. Maybe it’s just the fear of leaving my comfort zone? I’m not sure, all I know is, I’m feeling scared!

I do appreciate all the compliments from my co-worker’s though. Maybe if they had said something sooner, I would of highly considered staying. It’s so hard to find people that you work AND get along with. Usually you find one or another at a job. They have been spoling me rotten all week. One co-worker, Kenny the maintenace guy bought me pizza on Monday. On Tuesday I went to Donato’s with of the temp’s and my bestest friend at work, Becky. Wednesday was out with Becky again. Thursday one of my girlfriends in Accounts Payable took me out to Wendy’s. Then after work on Friday, Kenny took me to Applebee’s after my last day of work.

It will be sad to leave everyone and go into something new where it will take who know’s how long to figure out my new co-worker’s. However, I know that I am capable of doing so much more in life than being a Receptionist. There are more than a few people that I will still keep in touch with. This is not “Goodbye”…just “See you later”

Today is Veterans Day.  Is there anyone you know who has served or is serving in the military that you'd like to honor today? 

My dad was in the army before I was born and my mother was a mid-wife/nurse in Vietnam and that's how they met. I don't know too many details of the story but thank God for that, otherwise I obviously wouldn't be here.

Which person from your past, who you've lost touch with, do you wonder about the most?

My old roommate and best friend, Alissa. We worked together at Old Navy and after we became really good friends we decided to get an apartment and become roommates. She was so much fun and I opened out of my shyness whenever I was around her. She even surprised me on my birthday by getting me a birthday gift and leaving it on my doorstep the morning of my birthday because she was going to be at work all day and wouldn't see me till later. We had a huge falling out and I moved out of the apartment after a year, but still to this day I think about her and what a great friend she was and I wish I could of done something different to avoid the falling out, but I can't and I havn't really been able to touch base with her since. Maybe someday???
