This morning my clerk, who will be the officer-in-charge, will come in first thing to count the main stock and my cash drawer. Then after lunch, someone is coming to do the actual transfer of the office from me to my clerk. This means handing over my keys and badge.
Tomorrow I go in to get my clerk up to speed on things, get the computer applications set up, etc. Tomorrow SHE will be MY boss. Last night was hard when I was locking up to leave and realized that I had locked that door for the last time. I know things will be better..."This, too, shall pass"...but today and tomorrow I will be trying to control my emotions. As if.

Not a lot of words for you, just tons of hang in there feelings. You're still an able person. Don't let negative thoughts tell you otherwise.

It's ok to feel a little sad right now. You're making a big step. I agree with Gaz about hanging in there.

Awwww, so sorry, Blessings. I guess it's kinda like being bumped from Priority mail down to Pony Express.
I hope in a short time you have more enthusiasm and ZIP. But it will take awhile to readjust from the one who called the shots to the employee who just shows up and puts in their 8 hours. Two days ago I stood in line for 20 minutes here in Alpharetta, GA. There were 3 people serving at their stations, and one who had a "NEXT WINDOW PLEASE" sign up. Make sure you have one of those signs so you can go in the back room and get some rest, lol! Not a bad job, working at the USPS -- at least you never have to worry about getting holidays off! Good luck and warm wishes, Blessings. You can do it. Give yourself some time, though.

I can't even claim to understand the range of emotions you are feeling, but you are right when you say "this too shall pass" and I hope it becomes wonderful. There are many more blessings to come for you.

One door gets closed, another opens. On to the next adventure in life. But I would cry. My fingers always get caught and slammed in the door I'm closing.

You know all day been trying to remember something, now I know what it was, sorry and congrats, BTY, it is a double edged sword, but in time you will find out how much better you feel not dealing with work related stress. BTY

I'm thinkin' (I know, that's another thread) that I've got LOTS of friends! I can feel the hugs around me like butterflies. Thank you.
I'm exhausted, but tomorrow's the end, and maybe in the afternoon I'll just hold court in the lobby like a queen. Somebody brought me carnations, somebody brought me homemade pickles and two jars of jam, and best off all, somebody brought brownies! And the miracle is, I didn't even cry! (Too busy)
