help wanted

I have worked at this job for just shy of five years. I'm leaving in 3 weeks and 2 days. So. Weird.

A week and a half ago I wrote the ad for craigslist for my replacement. Today, I watched applicants come in for interviews. As many of you know, I have the best boss anyone could ever ask for. My father died when I was very young and this man has been one of the few father figures in my life and I have nothing but warmth and respect for him. The family environment he has created here, the respect I receive (despite my age), the casual atmosphere...all of these things and more have contributed to a really positive experience working here. Part of me is really going to miss this place.

I am still kind of in denial that my world is gonna change a lot by this time next month. I want to go blow a bunch of money on cool pens and pretty notebooks. Oh, back to school clothes shopping would be nice too.
