Goodbyes without Windows

Tomorrow is my last day at the office, continuing with the good-byes of the next month or so of my life and closing an important chapter in the past year. I've already started losing sleep over the prospect of leaving the office and the coffeehouse, both places that I love where I've met people who have become so important in my life at a time where my life and the post-college transition could have been way crazier than it wound up being.

Women for Women International is an amazing organization (check them out!) and I truly feel blessed for having been part of the organization. Though life as a Data Entry Clerk was occasionally quite monotonous, there were amazing aspects like reading and editing the stories of our women in the field. I felt a connection with them which really put my life in perspective. I made some great friends who embraced me and my dancing insanity and made me enjoy life in an office way more than I ever thought possible. I don't know what I will do next Monday when I don't have to show up at the office, though hopefully I will start working my way through the list of things I need to do and see before I leave DC in just about 3 weeks (what?!?!).

The Sponsorship Department is going out to hang out and celebrate my departure as well as another's, which will be fun but bittersweet. This weekend is also the MT housewarming/me going-away double party even though I have a few more weeks left, but the thought of having to think about leaving both jobs in the same week gives me a lot of anxiety and nostalgia all at once, so I'm not really thinking of it as a going-away party.

Edit: Today was an incredible and bittersweet last day at the office. Everyone was very kind and supportive--there was a party for us at the office and then margaritas as a team and everyone was full of well wishes. It was weird to clean out my cube (though I cleaned out my old cube last week before the move...), turn in my last time sheet, and actually get a lot of work done amidst goodbyes and laughs with coworkers.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and well wishes today, they are very appreciated. Here's to God bringing us back together at some point in life, sooner or later.
