mixed emotions

today was my last day at mercury. i was totally fine all day - exit interview, talking with my co-workers and stuff. and when it came to the end of the day today, I was going to begin my good-byes. i started with my manager and then i just lost it. my eyes started to tear and I had to walk away. I told her that I would go take some pictures to make myself feel better and then I would be back. I tried to let it all out and compose myself so I came back into the branch. I wanted to take some pictures of my clerical staff and i couldn't even talk. One of the girls gave me a hug and then I totally lost it. but then I composed myself again. i talked to one of the supervisors and she said how we had all grown - I had been there for 3 years and they were all so supportive of me during nursing school. they usually don't take part-time people but they thought i was still useful and they kept me. they helped me pay my way through school. anyway, I composed myself again and made my way to my other supervisors with little tears then headed over to my manager. she is awesome. gave me the most flexibility I could have and really understood that i wanted to follow my dreams of being a nurse but still had to pay the bills. she is one awesome lady. and then, when I got home, as if to end my casualty adjuster career, I got my RN-IP in the mail - my interim perit from the BRN. weird huh. talk about coincidence.
