I'M FREE!

















{This photo is one I took at Oquirrh Lake}
That's right. I'm finally free from the office bullies and mental games. I got a great offer from an ad agency downtown and a few other options on the horizon. I walked out of the office today, for the last time, with an extra spring in my step. {Amie, there are a few of those 1oo calorie shakes left on the bookcase and they're all yours!}

Things I'm planning to do the next two weeks:

1. Have a wonderful 2nd anniversary
2. Go to the morning spin and yoga classes at our gym
3. Find a good painting class
4. Take a book binding class
5. Research cameras and look into a photography class
6. Read good books
7. Try a few new recipes for dinner
8. Meet my friends for lunch
9. Write my next magazine article
10. Try and blot the last year and a half from my mind

Sadly, I won't get my daily dose of Amie and have all those great conversations with her. But now we can just focus on being friends and scrap the whole co-worker thing.

Yay! Congratulations on the new job...and escaping your "hell"! Your 2 weeks sound like a blast...but an awful lot to do in only 2 weeks! Good luck!

I'm so sad that we won't be able to wander to Starbucks or chat away about interesting books and music...during office hours anyway :-)

You'd better keep in touch! I'll see you next week.

Yay, Tonia! I am so happy for you. All the best in your upcoming adventures.

i will miss seeing you every day. But i would rather see you once a week knowing you're this happy, than any ole miserable day at the office.

good luck at the new job and thanks for the shakes!

Congratulations! I quit my unhappy job about a year ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Many good days are ahead for you, I'm sure!
