Last Day
Well... It was the last day of my now past job. I have mixed feelings:
Sadness because it was the job of my dreams.
Sheer unadulterated joy because I know that they can't try to run my life anymore.
Here is my last E mail(XXXX out are to protect the innocent):
*As many of you are aware, I am leaving the department. I have met many great people along this journey in my life and my appointment as a XXXXXXXX for the Government of XXXXXXX has been an educating and a rewarding effort but, unfortunately, management has not been overtly supportive.
My stress level has greatly decreased since I put in my resignation and my well being has been lifted. Many of you are aware of the circumstances as to why I am leaving my position: a few even supported my plight. To those of you - Thank you.
I wish you all the best of luck.
I will miss being a XXXXXXXX. I am so proud of the job that I did - the people, the industry, the safety, the days where I was covered in grease/ice/mud from an inspection all the way to showing children what we do on XXXXXXXX Safety Nights. It really crushed my spirit to be forced to give up my dream job - but when I saw that there was no where left for me, it was time I continued on with my life rather than allowing to feel as I would be subjected to another 20 years + of being miserable and degraded. My last official day is January 31, 2007.
If I have left out anyone on the E mail, please forward to them as it is unintentional.
Sincerely & Regretfully

It's scary jumping into the unknown, but it's the unknown that stretches us and makes us grow. You know that, but remember it whenever you think, "WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE???"
Yea.. I keep looking over my shoulder to see if someone is going to bitch slap me yet...
I guess I'm 'shell shocked' as it were.
I've had the panic attack... the OMG... the What did I do... and now I'm - oh....THIS is what life is about!
People come up to me and ask what I did to myself because I look happy...
That's a big WOW to me!
