Today is my last day with a company who I&#8217;ve been with since August 2006. My first real experience job. My first job out of college. A company who actually gave me a chance.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been great for the most part, I do have to say. I&#8217;ve learned a lot. I am who I am today because of them. Working with a small business has given me the opportunity to work in a lot of areas, which I like. I think I&#8217;m a well rounded person.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m leaving behind a few friends, which I don&#8217;t like to do. However, I&#8217;ve seen quite a few friends leave. Hopefully we will all keep in touch. This company has changed so much since I started here.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trading in my scooter for my Prius and a longer commute and a smaller company. I know I will do well there just as I have here.<\/p>\n<p>I figured out that I&#8217;ve been spending four years at a time at places:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Four years at high school (Broadneck)<\/li>\n<li>Four years at college (Frostburg)<\/li>\n<li>Four years at this job<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Twelve years of my life in only three places.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but feel so happy and so sad at the same time. It&#8217;s kinda surprising, I&#8217;m not as emotional as I thought. I haven&#8217;t cried here yet. I cried at home but not here. I guess, when I&#8217;m here, it doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s hit yet. I cleaned out my stuff. I took it home yesterday. I&#8217;m riding my scooter for the last time here, at least as a full time employee.<\/p>\n<p>A new journey awaits, a new chapter in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As some of you know, I found another job.
