Last Day

I've said before, I'm never one for goodbyes.

Had one final talk with my GM. And after that, another final talk with all the managers. They didn't want to see me go. They even made one last play, asking that I think about things after tonight.

But they know my decision is made.

I did all the important things. Divided up the clients I've developed amongst the team. Put all my receipts, paperwork, and faxes in a box.

I even sold a little today. Just a little. Today was fun, though. The fish weren't biting, but I still committed to the very end.

And I'm proud of my work. I performed better than expected. I think ultimately, this is how you should leave a job-- fully committed to the last possible moment. And even now, my job isn't finished. I still have to follow through with a few items. But that is something I will do next week.

Monday starts a new career. And I still feel that this is the right move to make. I explained that my reasons are because I feel that I am in control and not at the whim of other factors. The fact that I'm leaving while things are good means that this is more along the lines of a good decision.

And that's what I know it will be.
