Last Day in the Building


So yesterday was the day that I have been waiting 4 long years for...it was my last day in the building!!! I no longer have access to Back Hall, and it feels great! No more dealing with the khaki mafia (those are the evil Navy Chiefs I worked with), no more shift work, no more windowless offices. As most of you know I am an avid fan of The Office, and there was an epsiode during season 3 in which Dwight made a speech that I promised myself I would repeat on my last day in the building. So at long last here it is....


Although I love this company more than almost anything in the world, I have decided to step down from my post and spend more time with my family. I do not fear the unknown. I will meet my new challenges head-on, and I will succeed, and I will laugh in the faces of those who doubt me. It's been a pleasure working with some of you, and I will not forget those of you soon. But remember, while today it is me, we all shall fall. In other words, I'm quitting.


And that in a nutshell is exactly how I felt when I was escorted (that's right, they escort you) out of the building. Well, besides the loving the company more than almost anything in the world part, but you all get the point. Now all that is left is finishing my out-processing with the Air Force. Come this time next week I will be a civilian again!

Congratulations! It's so weird to me that you aren't in the Air Force anymore... I know you are so happy to be moving to Utah and I'm thrilled for you! Just remember your family in Ohio misses you & your family an INSANE amount!

Congratulations on a job well done. I wish you could tell us more about snooping in on Obama but I guess I can wait 50 years to hear your stories or was it 90 years before you can open up? Do you ever slip up in your sleep and tell Farsi secrets to Rachelle?
