Today is my last day at Wells Fargo. My manager took me and a coworker out to lunch at Applebees and I’ve been collecting some email addresses from friends to keep in touch. All of my work has been reassigned and today has been a simple one. I’ve finished up a few last things and am waiting on a single item to come back, which may not arrive before I leave.

As I’ve said before, the only thing I’ll miss are the people. Several people have asked if I’m excited and of course I am, but it will take some adjustment as usual when beginning a new position. I’ll be leaving my contact information for business and personal reasons, as I want to keep in contact. I’m sure a few questions might popup after today that only I can answer, so I’ll expect some communication later on.

A few months from now I’ll come in and visit because I live so close, I’ll be interested to hear what became of certain projects or what happened with certain issues. I will wonder what my life would be like if I had stayed, and it visiting may help show me what would have changed.

The only aspect of the new job thatI don’t like is the longer commute, and that’s not that big of a deal. I have more time to listen to my music, and maybe even read, but overall I think that this move is worth it. Of course, that also means I’ll need to get up earlier.

I’m not nervous at all because I’ve been so careful about my decisions that I’m 100% sure I made the right ones. There are a hundred reasons why I took this new job, the top reasons being:

1. Better pay.
2. I really want to work closer with web technology, and with people who know it as well.
3. I’ll be able to cut back a bit on my Botsko.net projects, and have more time with Boo, Beth, and Me.
4. The commute will allow me to listen to my music more, something that’s really important to me.
5. I love working in the downtown area, and until the company moves into a newer building I’ll have a window overlooking the waterfront, sure beats a cube in the middle of a large building.

Luckily I’ve kept some pictures and such of people that I work with, and of my cube. I’m an hour away from turning over all of my files, yet it doesn’t quite seem like it’s the end.
