Last week was really rough. Thursday was my last day of work at Liberty Mutual, but the goodbyes definitely started promptly on Monday.
This is what I came into work to find on Thursday...my manager says "if you can't work it can't be your last day" soooo cute!
I enjoyed working for Safeco so much! I had never worked in a call center before or knew anything about insurance. I feel like I really learned a lot and I was very good at my job. I am very proud of the job and the accomplishments I achieved in my short time with the company. One of the best things was all the people I got to meet. We had moved buildings while I was working there and that allowed me to sit by different people. It was so fun to learn about others lives and really get to know them. I will miss everyone so much! Its been 6 days since I took my last phone call and I am still having dreams about the insurance claims :)
I always want to have my best foot forward and I guess that just proves how I ended my last day. My shift ends at 3:15 and I was still taking a call at 3:15, I had an outbound call to make and I made it and noted the file appropriately. One of the managers goes "what are you still doing on the phone?!?" I couldn't just leave without finishing my job!! :)
When I left I was given two cards, they were so sweet. I am such a sap, I sat in the parking lot and read them and all the notes from everyone and cried my eyes out! Thank you everyone for the sweet cards and a special thank you to Lindsay for the cupcakes with hand whipped frosting, Lindsey, Judy, Lindsay, Jennie, Jen and Chris for the iTunes and Starbucks gift cards!! I will definitely use the caffeine and tunes to keep me entertained! That was very nice of you and I really appreciate it! I promise I will come back in July and pop in!
Leaving is such a bittersweet feeling. I am so excited to be with brandon and to get to spend so much time with him. We are going to be so close to moab so we will get to go hiking and mountain bike riding....it will be unreal. I am also very sad because I am leaving my job, friends and family. I am such a lucky girl in the sense I can say I honestly have 8 girls that I would consider my CLOSE friends. That is more than most people have GOOD friends. Then I have many many people I consider my good friends. I just love all my friendships and where they have gone. everyone means so much to me and sometimes I worry my friendships will suffer because I am not here. I know I will still stay close with everyone but I also understand life happens and people move on. I feel like I am at a place in my life where everything is so perfect, except brandon is not here. I know it will be fun going on the road and I know looking back I will be so happy I did and I wont know how I lasted as long as I did. Its just getting to that point that takes time.....
