verbally things are good

So I got a verbal offer that a verbal/email offer is coming and that a formal HR letter will follow end of day Friday/Monday. That was good enough for me. I just could not keep it in and I have confidence that nothing will go wrong. AND if it does it is mean to be (at least this is what I am telling myself to keep calm over the fact that I did give my notice with nothing in writing): ok yea I am a little nervous about that but nervous or not I feel a hell of a lot better tonight than I did last night. I will take the temporary nerves.

I talked to my boss and she was appropriate and offered her best wishes and said some very nice things about me. I appreciate that. I really do like her and working with her. It's the dynamics of the company and the company client relationships that are toxic to me.

I guess it was not odd that she (being the poker faced, always say the appropriate thing) did not seem suprised or taken aback. A co-worker later told me that my boss said she was sad because she really liked working with me. It was nice to hear. My boss did say, "if I thought there was something we could talk about to get you to stay...but it sounds like you have made up your mind."

I have made up my mind and I am ready to move on. Although I will miss so many people from this job. Friends outside of work, have a cocktail and talk about life and not just work friends. I really do hope we stay in touch.

I am excited about this new opportunity. I am giddy that it is back working with some of my old friends. Most of all I am feeling calm. Calm at the opportunity to start anew and really move along the path of creating a better life for me. Work-life balance, going to yoga more, reading more, computering less (maybe), spending time being outside as the weather gets warmer.
