Goodbye little Mini-Cubicle

So today is my last day at the museum. I'm thankful that I have the wedding to distract me so the full scale of being without a job doesn't hit me right away. Every time I've left a job I've felt a great sadness about leaving and the museum has so many wonderful people working for wonderful causes, at very little pay, so it's even more heart wrenching.

As difficult as non-profit work can be, when you can step back and look at it from more of a distance, it's incredible what people get up and do everyday just to make the world a better place. And believe me, what we've been doing at the museum doesn't even hold a candle to what some non-profit workers face everyday, but they're all still making a difference on some very important issues.

So we'll see what life holds when we return from the honeymoon and how I'll fill the days (packing!), but until then I'm going to attempt to finish up the wedding to-do list so that the excitement and reality of next weekend has a chance to settle in to my bones.

Update...

Look at the beautiful cake Dino Girl made for me and my co-worker to celebrate our last day at the museum! Every flower on there is handmade. Clearly Dino Girl made it further through the cake classes than I did :)

I know what you mean. My heart always aches a little when I leave a job or move away from a place, even when I'm confident that it's the right decision. Some of it I think is just missing the familiarity, but of course much of it is grieving the relationships you've formed. Hope this last day is a good one. You have much to look forward to!
