The End

Today went well. My secretary ordered a big cookie and invited the office to come say goodbye. (Which in true Cake Wrecks fashion said, "Will Miss You"--I loved it!) It was noted by many that Big Boss would have flipped had he come upon our little get together--which just made it that much better.

I received lots of hugs and good wishes. Several people offered to pass my resume along and others volunteered to serve as references. Most agreed that I was making the right decision. (Although many did not know the whole story and so responding to "Where are you going?" was a little awkward.)

I left with the feeling that I was well-liked by my co-workers and that they seemed genuinely sad to see me go.

Now I am hitting the ground running with the job hunting. I applied for 5 jobs today, most of which I am well qualified for (a nice change from when I was hunting for entry-level positions.) Hopefully I'll start interviewing next week, and of course, I'll continue searching and sending out my resume.
