goodbye who?

I WORKED TODAY!!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!

and i was all choked up about not going to work at State Farm anymore.

maybe, just maybe, in some cases...there is no such thing as goodbye.

what's even funnier is that i haven't done any State Farm work since August...and yet the only things i messed up were:
1) i didn't know where to put my jacket because there was never a need for a jacket when i worked there.
2) i didn't know where Suzanne kept the shredder bags because i went to look for them where they were usually kept and they weren't there.
3) i wrote a credit card number where a check number goes but i caught it in time.
4) i said "good morning" on the phone past noon.

i proceded to think (and tell Margaret) that it amazed me that i remembered practically EVERYTHING. yet when i spend a semester in a class, i'm convinced that i need to re-study all of the information for a final. of course in a class it's different material every day instead of doing essentially the same work every day...but still. i forgot how confident i felt after handling a day at that place. and while i didn't do a whole lot of work, i'm still tired! but i felt needed and well-respected and all of that warm, fuzzy stuff.

and now, a true office conversation (and an example of why i love my workplace):
Suzanne: I've been thinking about getting a dog again.
Me: Oh, good! Get a bichon...they're great!
Suzanne: Well, I wanted to get a big dog...I'm thinking I want to get a Laberdoodle or a Portugese Water Dog and be like the Obamas. (insert giggle here).
Me: Oh, thanks. (sarcasm)
Suzanne: Didn't you miss me? Who else do you have to torture you all day long?
