last day.

goodbyes choke me up. i thought i'd be used to them by now but the nostalgic side of me still clings on...

today is my last day on my current gig. i found out yesterday that today would be my last day. i started with this team of coworkers almost exactly a year ago -- i'm just shy one week of hitting the one year mark with kdash. i started june 28, 2010...and i am super grateful. it's on this gig that i learned to hone my craft, deal with crappy situations and difficult people, work with some of the coolest people in the world, and launch my career. i wanted to grab lunch with everyone today but per usual, fridays are the craziest. one of the editors treated me out to chinese food, and it was super nice of him.

as i blast ke$ha out of my office in an almost empty building and wait for things to finish up, i can't help but be thankful for a ridiculous ride that i've had with this job. ridiculous in both bad and good ways. i am extremely grateful, and i know that God has blessed me with every lesson that i've learned along the way.

i'll still be around, but i wonder if it'll be the same? no, it will. i'm grabbing drinks with some of my teammates tonight. i'm gonna keep in touch with some of these folks for the rest of my career -- hell, even for the rest of my life.

miami 2, season 5, new york, season 6: thank you. i am so blessed.

onto bigger and exciting and wonderful things. but as i move on, i will look back with much fondness.
