One Year Later and I Don’t Want to Ever Go Back
On November 4, 2009 I headed out the door at 6:45am for my very last day as an employee. I thought it would be a day of well-wishes and thank you’s, but it didn’t quite turn out that way. There were no parties, “no good luck, thank you for twelve years of dedicated service” luncheon….
