Harder than I thought...

DH got the final "ok" from the school and set a start date for the end of the month.  Yesterday he turned in his resignation, and is all set to head out there in a few weeks...  we talked last night and decided that I should talk to my boss today to let him know whats going on and that I'm leaving.

I have been waiting for sooooo long for us to get the chance to move out there, and have been waiting over a week to tell my boss that we're moving... but now that I am in the position to actually TELL him - I am terrified!!!

I know that he will be great about it, and the guys I work with will all be supportive... but I'm literally shaking as I type this!  As much as I complain about my job - I do love it and I don't like the fact I'm leaving the guys.

I just need to grow a pair and get it over with.  Any tips on how to calm myself the heck down?!  LOL... if you read this whole thing... this is for you: Drinks 

Re: Harder than I thought...

  • When you are done, can I borrow that set?!?!?! LOL... i have barely gotten my offer and I'm already dreading giving my notice!

     

    Best of luck girl..this is the BEST thing for you and DH.

    ::: Hugs :::  As hard as it seems, you'll be fine Sarah!  From talking with you before and previous blog updates, you work with a great group of people and as sad as they may be to see you go, they will all wish nothing but the best for you!!!

    You're entering into another path in your journey of Marriage!!  How awesome!  Good luck!! 

  • I've seen other people in your situation - and they have been a complete wreck before, but then it never goes as bad as they think so they can relax after :-) They way I see it - this is a major thing for you yes, but people come and go from jobs all of the time. It's to be expected that people will not stay in a company forever.

    I don't know if that helped calm you or not, but good luck!!

  • I don't really have any advice. I would probably just do it quick (like taking off a band-aid...lol) and get it over with. It's not going to be as bad as you think. It sounds like you work w/ a great group of people and they'll understand that you're ready to move forward to new opportunities. GL!!

  • When I left my previous job, which was an absolutely horrible job that I dreamed hourly about leaving, it was so hard and I almost broke down right when I walked in to tell my boss.  After I got started though a weight lifted off my shoulders and I was so excited.  My old boss handled it pretty well, even though we really didn't get along and wished me well.


    Good luck, such an exciting time for you and DH!!! :)

  • I am the biggest chicken sh!t when it comes to stuff like this so I really have no advice.  Just wanted to say good luck!  I know things will be just fine.
  • good luck! but what i really want to say is - i love your blog!
  • Aaah thank you ladies.  I'm feeling better about it!  I'm going to set up a time this afternoon to talk with him.  Now I'm trying to decide how to start the conversation... LOL

    I want to start by saying "So DH got an amazing job offer..." (because boss knows that DH has been miserable in his job and has been looking)

    Dad suggests to start by saying "You know I love this job, and you guys are the best..."  ...... and then boss will immediately know what I'm about to say.  

    Decisions decisions.  lol.  I will let you all know how it goes!!!! 

  • imagesamantha7806:
    good luck! but what i really want to say is - i love your blog!

    Haha thanks Samantha!!  Smile 

  • No advice, but GL!  I think you should go with the "DH got an awesome job offer" approach.
  • Good luck!  (And I don't think  I got to say congrats before on getting this GREAT opportunity!!!) I agree on starting with "DH got the amazing job offer" approach...and I also agree that these situations always seem to go better than expected. so don't be too scared...you'll do fine :)
  • ((hugs)) You'll be ok. I know, it's tough to leave a situation when you like the people you work with. Even if you don't really like them, sometimes just the comfort level makes it difficult to leave. But like you said your boss & coworkers will be supportive, and that's awesome. Most importantly you & your DH are making a move to make your lives better! That's amazing! :)
  • AW CRAP!!!!!!!

    Boss just told me he is out for the rest of the afternoon in meetings downtown.  2 minutes after I sent the "lets chat this afternoon" email.  So... first thing tomorrow AM.  

    Thanks for the advice too - I'm going with the "DH got an offer" approach... then I'll do the whole "you know I love you guys" thing.  I just have to WAIT another day.  Sheesh.  

  • Good Luck Sarah!!  It will go way better than you imagine I bet, and you'll feel so light afterward!  Let u s know how it goes!
  • Just try to breathe and tell yourself that it's a good thing.  And then go have a drink later to celebrate!  = )
  • Good luck!  I know it's difficult, but like pps it's a good thing and a great opportunity!
  • I think everyone's already given you some good advice, I just wanted to say good luck and congrats to you and your DH for moving on to a new and exciting phase in your lives!
    Anniversary
  • Congrats to your DH!
    Anniversary
