Feeling Loved

As I announced in my last post about my new position...it was just announced to the world at work and I've been overwhelmed with the number of emails and pings of congrats, thank yous, and don't leave mes.

Today during our team meeting it was announced and needless to say everyone was SHOCKED and thought the Security group "stole" me, when I informed them I did interview and there was no stealing involved. lol I just had to explain this wasn't a "get me outta here" move, but a promotion move. Just stepping up the corporate ladder. Then all was good, but they were sad and I'm kinda sad too. I love my coworkers. But I'm excited for what's to come.

So I end with a few of the reasons why I love my users...they crack me up daily. A few memorable responses to finding out the news:

*NOOOOOOOOO! Who's gonna help me so patiently like you when i mess up again!! Like I always do?!
*You think ____ is gonna be your replacement!? Nooooo, I can't make stupid comments to them!
*No one will quickly look into the issues like you when I call them....I'm going to have learn to wait, and you know that is not in my vocabulary.
*What are they offering you? I will offer you 10 times as much if you come back. That is if you will take IOUs, because you know IP doesn't pay me that much.

etc. etc. etc. All day I have been cracking up. I love them! Like I said yesterday I feel so blessed and one really feels it during times like these. I just need to remember that always. :-)
