Howdy,
First, I can't access Yahoo messenger with my Babble-friendly ID, and I miss chatting with my buddies. To make it worse, I can't seem to get in to Open with that ID either. I miss chatting live with my buddies and whoever else I can get to know. So I feel out of touch and out of sorts.
Plus, this is my last week at my practicum placement. The reason I am there this week is to have a shared week (it's a 53 week contract) with my replacement in order to train him. He's gone due to a death in the family. So I really don't have a necessary task this week. My voicemail and mailbox at the center are gone. That's usually the first thing I do when I walk in, is to check mail and voicemail. I feel so homeless at work! Like I no longer have any right to be there. No identity.
And to make it worse, my friends from work are already done. I don't have my buds there to joke with and support each other. The new trainees all started yesterday. They are so green and yet so anxious. I worked my butt off the last two days helping get them set up with voicemail, computer log-ins, answering questions, etc. I feel like a consultant in my own office! And I have to give up my keys!
I know this is silly, but all happening at once is kind of surreal. It has been such an intense part of my life for so the last year, and now I feel like a stranger. Yuck! And I can't chat about it!!!!!!!
Please say hi to me in this thread. Please stay in touch until I get my stupid yahoo thing straightened out. I know I can count on Babble. Thank God Dr. Bob hasn't booted my ID.
Thanks for listening!
