Loss

Hello Blog World!!

I haven't blogged in forever.

Here is what you have missed:


  • I've lost 30 lbs! Heck yes!!!

  • I ran a 1/2 Marathon with a best friend from high school.

  • I'm about to start my last semester of grad school.

Here is what I really wanted to write about, my boss has resigned. I work for a medium sized organization, but there are only 5 people in my office. We are all women and we are extremely close. It has been said that it is very odd to find a workplace like we have. People have bragged about how there isn't any caddiness amongst us and how we really do have each other's backs. I love everyone I work with dearly.


It hit me like a cannonball when the Director announced that she was leaving. She told us the last day of work in 2011 and now her final day is here. I can't really explain the emotions that are being put through my head. I feel like a sheep who doesn't know which direction to head next. I am also comforted in the fact that God knows exactly where my next steps will lead me. I knew that I was preparing to leave this place once I graduated, but I always imagined that everything else would stay the time. It would be the place that I came back to to say hey. It would be like high school. She is struggling with the fact that she is leaving us too. She hasn't said as much, but her boyfriend let us know that there are many nights that she has cried at the thought of leaving us behind.


We don't know what the center will do with her position. I applied for it, but they said that they were going to check the budget and at this point they aren't going to hire anyone. We will just be a shell of a center until they figure out what to do with us. The office manager and I have started applying for new jobs. I'm going to try to hold out till June, because that's when I'll be done with school, but I don't know if I can make it.


God only knows what's going to happen next.
