I can't even believe this day. After much thought, consideration, deliberation, prayer, discussion, and a sleepless night last night...I decided to take the new job. I called, accepted it, then went back to the office. As I sat at my desk, typing my resignation letter...I am called to the kitchen. EVERYONE was in there, with a big chocolate brownie (with a candle on it), and a carrot cake...to wish me congratulations on my one year anniversary with the company. :( My boss says, "We've had a hard year, with a LOT of turmoil...and you've hung right in there!" I felt like pond scum. This impromptu party was completely unexpected and totally uncharacteristic. I couldn't give them the letter today...after all of that. I will deliver it first thing tomorrow morning. I can't help but wonder...what is happening to my twin...in the parallel universe...that surely exists.
I almost decided to delete the letter. Then I remembered the past few months...and the fact that my co-worker was questioned about whether or not I was looking for a job...when she handed in her own resignation (a week and a half ago). Is this genuine change...or simply a last ditch effort to avoid having NO ONE there who knows how to do the necessary things? I don't know. I am tired from thinking about it...I wish people came with labels...I could turn theirs over and see if it reads "Desperate, lying, two-faced, sack of stuff" or "Turning over a new leaf, sorry we were jerks".
Be Well!

People with labels sounds like a plan to me. Of course I'd like to label a few with my opinion of them, instead.
Amen!!
