Last day of WebMD

I can't believe this is my last day at work. I tend to express myself better when someone asks me things.

(9:28:20 AM) Eric Han: so how does it feel to be done with webmd
(9:29:00 AM) rob.yang@gmail.com/2581D9C9: disbelief
(9:29:18 AM) rob.yang@gmail.com/2581D9C9: i'm leaving job security, stableness, good boss, accustommed team dynamic
(9:29:38 AM) rob.yang@gmail.com/2581D9C9: i know how to interact with most of the relevant departments here
(9:29:44 AM) rob.yang@gmail.com/2581D9C9: who excatly to get what from
(9:29:54 AM) rob.yang@gmail.com/2581D9C9: and now i'm throwing myself out into newbiness all over again

Just very weird to be leaving behind such a good thing I've built up.

I had a hard time trying to leave my workstation, knowing this would be the last time I'd ever be sitting at this desk with all the mess of things I have surrounding it. Last time I touch this laptop, last time I ever touch any of the ExactTarget setups that I worked so hard to implement or refine.

All of it would be over, as soon as I walk out of the building, the same walk I take every single day without a second thought. Now, that walk would be my last. So weird... it still feels like the same walk I take everyday, the same mundane walk that I take to work, knowing I'm going to be spending another 8 hours of my life there. Or walking out, knowing that I'm going to be back again the next day.

So hard to accept that it's all over. I still feel like I have to get ready for work again for Monday. I have to get my meeting notes ready on Monday morning to talk about what needs to be done or corrected. All those emotions and routines are still engrained.

Gosh, I just can't believe I walked away from 6.25 years at WebMD.

Will probably have more to say in future weeks, as the denial subsides.
