Updates...

Well, I walked into work this morning with a medium chip on my shoulder. I was met with some really awesome news that made all of the crap almost worth it. Our team was accepted to present at a national conference next March. Why is this exciting? Because the conference is in Austin!!!! They're still going to let me help write the presentation so that I'll finally get to be published and I'll get to see my team next March.

Back to the other good things today. They held a lovely luncheon in my honor where I received a card that was signed by everyone! Lots of my coworkers sat and had lunch with me instead of stopping by to grab some food. It was actually nice. I delivered my cards to everyone that had our new contact information with a handwritten note to all of my coworkers which was well-received. Even though they suck, at least I know that I'm definitely being the bigger person and thanking everyone for the opportunity and the impact that they had on my life and career.

I was able to finish cleaning out my desk and all of my worldly possessions from the last three years have been transported home in two very heavy boxes. I have a few more patients to see, several things to follow-up on, but it looks like I'll be done around 1:00 pm on Friday. I am so relieved that I'm leaving with a strong feeling of pride for the work that I have done.

They'll miss me when I'm gone. They'll realize how awesome I was once I'm gone and they'll feel bad for treating me poorly. And I'll be laughing while I'm happy at home in Austin. Good-bye MJHS! It's been real and it's been fun but it ain't been real fun!

Thanks to everyone for the support, especially Marie who created a note to send to my employers that expressed my displeasure.
