At 10:00 this morning...
I'm closing the chapter on another part of my life today and it's got me a little sad.
Most of you know that I changed jobs a year ago, and was retained by my old one on a consulting basis. That location is selling today, and I won't be there anymore. It's a good thing (for the property, and also for me...because I've really been burning myself out trying to properly take care of everything at both jobs), but it's a sad day for me as well because I really do care about the site. I also care about the people, and I really enjoyed working there.
Am I the only one that formulates such an emotional attachment to jobs?

I had emotional ties to some of the peoples I worked with at my previous job...I changed jobs 2 yrs ago now. I still miss some of the people...and used to go visit. But, things at that previous job have gone down hill SO much for even the employees still there, I don't go now. Everyone there is miserable in their jobs. I'm finally glad I'm not one of them anymore....but I do, still miss all the people who I formed such strong attachments to.

Yeah... I'm the same as ShadowDancer..... I miss the everyday relationships with former co-workers. I don't usually miss the job though..... or i wound't have left it.
Things happen for a reason WI........ something even more rewarding for you is around the corner!

No sir, not at all.
Every ending is also a new beginning. Cherish the past, but keep your eyes on the future.

If you don't form an emotional bond with your job, it's only temporary.
I've stayed in jobs far too long because of emotional connection.

Not me. I never get emotionally invested at work.
