All had such kind words and hugs for me.
Even Dean, the young man in the second row told me that if he could have chosen a "Mother" he would have chosen me...
Ahhhhh....I know you're saying that right now!
So, my new adventure begins on Friday. Tomorrow I get my hair cut, maybe get some new pants and just rest up and practice NOT saying "Hello" - and the old company's name.
When I first started I had come from another company that started with the same first letter. I cought myself saying the wrong company name a couple of times.
Finally wrote the current company name on a sheet of paper & stcky-noted it to my computer. Whenever the phone rang, I'd look to see where I was working......
But that's just me...
So, hair cut and dinner out. Good plan. Y'all have a great Thursday, will ya?!

just a reminder...remember also not to answer the phone: Hello, How can you help me? that was priceless!
I love your photos, Colleen! I'm so happy for you and your job change. Pamper yourself today and I hope you have a wonderful first day tomorrow! xxoo, Dawn
It is so sad leaving your friend at work but thnk of the new friends you will make. I found it was easier just to say "This is Carolyn".....at least the name has not been changed even if the company did...Good Luck and have a great day today....
Colleen, congrats on the new job! I did a bit of internet sleuthing and what a great place to work! You'll have so much fun there! :)
I had to laugh about your telephone comment--I did the same thing too! When I was first hired here, I wanted to answer the phone with the name of the campus newspaper from college where I worked before I graduated! Isn't it funny how those things (like telephone greetings) just become habit?! :)
Can't wait to see the new hair cut and best of luck on your new start,
It's sad to say goodbye, isn't it? Now that I realize we will be moving, I find myself "liking" my coworkers more than I used to... LOL. Good luck on the new job!
