1/3 days done....
A chapter of my life is coming to an end and it’s hard to believe. I love my job at the jail. I love working there with the staff. I’m going to miss working with the awesome Dentist (whom I’ve always called my boss, but we’re both self employed), tossing around chocolates with the nursing staff and sharing gross stories, cracking jokes with the deputies, and just being there. It is one of the few places that I have ever felt 100% comfortable to be myself; that I’ve gotten along with everyone; that I don’t feel like a major disappointment; like it’s home. It’s hard for me to say goodbye. I’ve only got two shifts left there. Two shifts to do all those things with the nursing staff and deputies. Just two shifts to say goodbye..... it breaks my heart. They gave me a chance being fresh from school as a dental assistant and gave me a job that I love and even worked around the fact I was pumping for my daughter. And they have thanked me many times for the amazing atmosphere I have given the dental office and medical teams, for how clean I kept everything, how level headed I stayed in tense situations while I slowly defused the situation. They have been one of the greatest teams/companies I have ever worked for. We were a family able to read each other’s nods and looks and know exactly what to do. It’s hard to find that in a job. But, I hope that the next assistant doesn’t diminish the bond that I solidified with the deputies and medical staff, rather I hope they make it stronger.
To my coworkers I say thank you so much for the opportunity, for the chance. For being my family in the workplace. For helping me grow as a person. Y’all rock.
