Farewell, WGU!

Well. The day is here. My very last day as a Project Coordinator at Western Governor's University. And I'm feeling a little bit bi-polar about it. Naturally, I'm excited for a new job and a new opportunity. Duh.

But at the moment, I am feeling sad about leaving all of the friends I've made here. I already miss Bestie Sarah. And she's sitting right next to me. Never again will we laugh in a loud and obnoxious fashion at something ridiculous that one of us said. Never again will we look at each other with a knowing cringe when an office mate clips their fingernails (this issue has already been addressed. We won't dwell...). And never again will we comfort each other through hard times (A-hole B-O-B), pep talk each other during the challenges and squeal over the great times (Super.Special.T.F.A). However. We can comfort ourselves in the existence of Gmail Chat, the best invention since Velcro.

I've made so many friends here, had so many good times. I'm sad to be leaving a place where I've become comfortable and at-ease. I've loved finding multiple individuals who find improper grammar and incorrect punctuation one of life's most irritating experiences. I thought I was weird until I started working with other English majors! Now, we join together in solidarity.

So I feel a little like I'm jumping out into the cold, cold world from a warm and comfortable bed. So I'm nervous and sad and excited and hopeful. So I'll just say that I will miss everyone and I hope for the very best for you. And you'd better stay in touch or I'll write a snide blog about you.

  1. Bestie. I cannot think of these things nor can I read them at work, whilst I am unable to tear up sufficiently. Please cease. Thank you.

  2. Spot on, Bestie. No need to mention it. Let's talk about ducks.

  3. I'm already sad about this now. Even my mother knows. I'm just too dependent on you, Bestie. It's unhealthy. And yet it feels so right. Ha!
