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.

And when all else fails, get on your bad motor scooter and ride!*

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.
