Crocodile Tears

This is a warning to the citizens of the Salt Lake Valley. Today there will be crying. Great.Big.Crocodile.Tears. Beware of flooding.

I have been with the Corporation I work for 4 ½ years. During the first 3 years I changed jobs every 3 months…or so it seemed. I worked for the Corporate Office until it moved to Minnesota. I then worked for the Regional Office until it moved to Phoenix and I have been at this branch for 18 months. At first I hated being here. Some of the employees thought I was a spy sent from Corporate to tell all their dirty secrets…sorry, no spy and no secrets (well, none that I would tell).

I did hear how to use the F word in many new and enlightening ways. On the job training. Gotta love it.

So, now, someone….up the ladder…is making moves again.


Today is my last day here. I am leaving….SOB….Adiel. I am leaving the VV brothers, the Hale boys, Steve with the bulging wallet plus all the guys who work so hard everyday to keep the customers happy.

I am leaving my family, my home away from home.

How did I allow myself to get so attached that it is tearing my heart out to leave?

EASY.

There is lots of love here. (no, all you people with dirty minds…a good kind of love!!)

But I am only going about 12 blocks away. Not moving to Africa. I still get to see all my homies. Just not everyday, every hour, not with every ding of Adiel’s computer.

Thanks to all my great co-workers. I will miss you…now let’s go out to lunch!!!


Here I am with the boys waiting for lunch. And look Brett is even here!

And here we are all at lunch. Yummy food. Just before we are interrupted by a work emergency that sends everyone scattering to take of the problem. We did have a short, nice time!


And here is one final picture of me and Adiel...the true Adiel!!
