A new chapter begins

I put in my formal 2 week notice today at the old job!! I was really nervous. I mean, I know I have every right to quit a job but I always feel guilty about it. My last day will be July 8th. This will give me a little mini-vacation before I start the new job on July 14th. I'm really excited. I totally lied through my teeth to my supervisor about why I was leaving. I said it was b/c of a lack of opportunity to move up and gain more responsibility. This is true but the fact that I'm the hardest darn worker there and I get overlooked for praise and recognition by my supervisor is the real reason. I don't want to burn any bridges though b/c I will still have to be in contact with my old lab when I start the new job. The new job is where they make autosamplers for the instruments we use now. I don't want to have bad blood between myself and Larry, my supervisor, when I might have to work with him the future. Lies or not, it feels darn good to know I'll be out of there in 2 weeks!! It's going to be very hard to go there every day now. Oh well, I'm leaving and I've taken so much crap from them, what's a little more?
