I have officially given my notice at work, a very bitter-sweet experience. There are so many things that I am going to miss. It is very hard to quit a job I actually love.I am going to miss my team. It is a small (less than 20 of us) and diverse group. I would have never imagined I would be working in Boise Idaho with co-workers from China, India, Nepal, Holland, Russia and all over the US. They are all so great and smart. I have learned so much from them.
When asked "What do you do?" I am going to miss being able to respond by saying "I am a molecular biologist." Completely vain I know -- but I will miss it.
All that being said, despite the struggle to make a final decision, I feel a great weight has been lifted from my heart. Being just weeks from meeting my little girl knowing that I don't have leave her and I can be 100% mom is such a sweet and calming thought.
