Comments on: The Beginning of the End http://www.dinane.net/2006/03/13/the-beginning-of-the-end If the internet were picking teams for a blog battle, I'd be picked last.

EE! I am nervous about having to take an elevator to the 11th every day. I'm not an elevator person. In fact, you could say I'm claustrophobic. That would be true. I actually just looked at the train schedule, and it turns out that the Worcester line trains almost always become express when they get to the Framingham line half, so maybe we will be train buddies. Who knows! It would be kinda neat to know someone on the train... Jon – 43rd floor? EE! I am nervous about having to take an elevator to the 11th every day. I’m not an elevator person.

My next-cube-neighbor pointed it out shortly after I sent out the email, and I was highly embarrassed. I blame him, however, because if he hadn't been late to work I would have likely made him proof-read it before I sent it out. He's nice like that. Except when he's late! I posed the question to another coworker (actually, he found the question on this here blog, which I made him aware of when I <a href="http://www.dinane.net/2006/03/02/mind-reading">published an AIM conversation we had</a>) who thought that I wasn't allowed to use full sentences within parentheses. I proved him wrong by way of Google-search. (Thank you, Google!) Joe – You got it! My next-cube-neighbor pointed it out shortly after I sent out the email, and I was highly embarrassed.

It's just business. I talked to one of my favorite former coworkers at the beginning of this process. He sensed that I was nervous about the ordeal and gave me some awesome advice. He told me that I had to think of it as business. It's the business of Diane. Diane Inc., Co., Etc. has needs. In this case, the business requirement sends me to Boston. It was still hell-a-hard to say goodbye, but I knew that it was just business. And that got me through the day. Let's hope it gets me through a meeting with a former boss... Exactly, Stef. It’s just business.

It feels like a betrayal in a way, and you have to keep reminding yourself over and over that it is just a job. Congratulations, and good luck! Ugh, it’s never easy leaving a job.

There are far, far more trains going through Framingham than through the Worcester half of the line. Lucky for me, this is only until the end of May. I think I'd murder myself (isn't that called "committing suicide?") if I had to do the epic commute for the rest of my life. I’m totally going to drive the extra distance to go from Framingham.
