Goodbye

Today is my last day as a employee at my first real grown-up job. On Tuesday I will be starting a new chapter in my life and a whole new world. Going from 20 co-workers to 2, leaving the land of eyes to something a little more facial focused, having a set schedule for work as opposed to the different shifts I work now. I made so many friends here that I ache when I think of not seeing them everyday, each has a unique personality that adds a bit of sunshine to my life that I know I will not get anywhere else.

It may be unfair but I choose to blame my employer for this, if they paid me more, had more opportunity for growth or even said thank you once in a while I probably would have stayed longer. I work in a high stress medical environment and just wasn't getting the compensation I deserve. I hope my current co-workers will step up and start demanding better treatment, they are a rockstar group of people and deserve more than what they are getting now. I loved going to work everyday for the wonderful people I worked with but eventually it is not enough anymore.

So I say goodbye to my wonderful family with sadness; I would like them to know that they have made this 8 months bareable and made me feel as though I do have family here. Tell them to keep their heads up, that they do deserve more, that they need to spread their beautiful wings and find joy in everything. Lastly that I will always be here for them, though not on a daily basis anymore, now that they have accepted me they are never getting rid of me. I love you all, thank you for everything.
