Good morning.
Happy Fridayyyy!
Today is the most bittersweet day for my career. It is my last day working with the team I've been with since day one at my current company (though this is the first company I started working for once out of college). Now I'm not leaving the company I work for, but I recently got promoted to a different department. This means I move up a floor, and will really only see my current coworkers in passing!
I am EXTREMELY excited to start this new chapter in my life. This is a position I have been wanting, and felt was the right next move for my career. But I think it's difficult to let go of things you are comfortable with, and it's especially hard when you love all your coworkers!
It's not just my team I will miss either! My current boss is really the reason I have gained the momentum I have in the working world. He has always been dedicated to my growth, and has been someone to help guide me through life. I could easily thank him for being responsible for me accelerating to where I am now.
See almost 3 years ago when I interviewed for him I was not confident in my abilities, as I had never worked in the business world. I walked into the interview feeling shy, nervous and unable to "sell myself". But my boss must have seen something he was looking for in an employee because he didn't just write my demeanor off as standoffish. (Yes that has happened in interview! I know because the interviewer once told me...) He continued to ask me questions that would help me get to the important information. In short, he gave me the opportunity that I needed and never stopped putting effort into my growth. For that, I can't thank him enough!
The last few years of my life have taught me that you can always do better. That you should always be striving for something bigger, and that you never want to get bored. Find those challenges and overcome them. Since my first interview for this company almost 3 years ago, I have been promoted twice (one time was within the same team), and my confidence in the working world has grown tremendously. NEVER stop working to improve yourself. You are worth it!
Now in true Dana fashion, my team threw a congratulations/ bye Felicia lunch for me and can you guess what it included?
DOUGHNUTS...duhhh. You know I can't ever neglect to post about my doughnuts!
But these aren't just any doughnuts...they are rainbow cookie doughnuts. The ONLY way this could be better, is if cannoli cream was also involved. OTHERWISE, rainbow cookie doughnuts are my top doughnut choice.
I really hope my new team comes to love and know me as much as my current one does!
