Yesterday was my last day with Rosetta Stone, my employer for the last two years. I started with them permanently in August 2010 after temping from February to June, and it has been one of the most enjoyable job I’ve had in a long time.

I cannot thank my coworkers enough, I felt so loved and appreciated this week. My boss took me to lunch yesterday, a couple of coworkers bought pizza to “celebrate” me today, and all the kind words made me so happy. I was applauded as I left the lab for the last time, and I walked to my car with a smile on my face.

On Monday I start with Inforelay, a small server hosting company based in Herndon, VA, as a Jr Linux Systems Admin. I’m nervous, excited, happy, sad, all at the same time. Excited about starting the new job, nervous about fitting in and doing well, sad to be leaving friends and happy to be finally getting somewhere with the career I’ve been wanting for so long now.

So here is to New Beginnings, for me, for Kelly, and for anyone else starting something new or wishing they could. You can do it!
