workYAY!! I get to be lazy for 22 whole days. I feel like my summer is just beginning. I warn you before you read on that I'm going to talk about what people told me so I can refer back to this when I'm feeling down later on.
Today was surprisingly good. Definitely a lot better than my last day last summer. Everyone told me how much they were going to miss me and to take care and keep in touch. They even came in search of me to get their goodbye hugs. It was really sweet. I actually felt appreciated. Lol, I even had two guys kiss me. I can't say what the look on my face was, but it definitely had to be shock.
David, my mentor and boss, told me I was brilliant and that he couldn't wait to see how much I succeeded. He told me they would miss me and that they really appreciated everything I've done. Also, he said that I brought youthfulness and vivacity to the workplace that there wasn't before since I'm at least 15 years younger than everyone else.
Denise, one of the admins, told me that I would pave the way and will be able to achieve anything I can think of and that she's so proud of me and of course that I'm a cutie :). She calls me her little girl or her little Tejal. She is the sweetest lady because that's exactly what she calls her daughter minus my name and inserting her daughters name.
Nancy told me that I should stop worrying because I have this upcoming year in the bag and honestly of everyone that meant the most coming from her. She is one of those women who is a hardass when you work with her, but she knows what she wants and she goes for it. As far as I know, she couldn't have any children so she adopted a Nicaraguan ( I think they are from Nicaragua I may be mistaken) family and has been with them for 12 years. They have something like 8 kids, but right now because of some little misunderstanding they aren't really talking to her. It is breaking her heart, yet she goes through every day and you wouldn't know anything was wrong unless you knew what was going on. She loves those kids and it makes me sad that she hasn't seen or talked to them in 2 to 3 weeks.
Janet told me she's going to miss me greeting her in the morning and being there to brighten her day.
Joann told me to keep smiling because I genuinely mean it.
James actually called to tell me goodbye and that he knows that i'm going to excel at whatever I choose to do and that they've loved having me the past two summers. I wish he had actually come in today, but oh well.
The list goes on, but those are the ones that really made an impact other than this one lady Suzanne, who just started working with us, who told me I was a sweetie. Haha, I love how everyone thinks I'm sweet just because I try to be nice and smile at everyone. I hate good byes because they are awkward with people I'm not really close to and because its sad .... another chapter of my life that has ended, but I left there feeling like I've grown as a person and that everyone really did appreciate me this summer and I didn't work my ass off for nothing. I really hope some of the people keep in touch because they are really nice and even if they don't necessarily help me get anywhere in my career they are nice people to know.
Today was fairly quiet. Lana didn't come to work, which made my day. I know she's not really all that bad, but I can't help disliking her. I did some things for David and finished off the last of my projects. David took me, Nance, and Denise to City Cellar and we actually had a great lunch. It wasn't awkward at all and it was really nice seeing the other side of these people. I think I am going to miss them, but I don't think I'm going to miss the job. I could've come to love working there if I had more worthwhile jobs and if Lana wasn't around to ride my ass. Oh well, another job, another summer, another year.
I'm still happy and that's all that matters.
Note: My cynical side wonders how much of this was just them saying something because they had to say something, but I'd like to believe that since I've been nothing but genuine they would give me the same respect.
