Last Day of Work for Mom

Today is my last day at work! Thomas stopped by my work this morning to help remove my personal effects. The walls are bare and I'm doing all the last minute things before 5pm! (including blogging?haha)
    It feels so good to tell people what I'm doing next. Since turning in my two weeks notice co-workers have been asking what I have lined up. "I'm going home to be with my son and eventually new baby (pointing to my belly)" Usually what follows from them is a "good luck" or "that's great." I tell them I'm excited about the opportunity to spend more time with my kids.

I thought I'd post a few pictures of me and another girl on the job.
Nothing exciting...just documenting.

 I was on top of a ground storage tank and took a pic

So we mostly only took pictures of the exciting things. There was more to my job than climbing tanks. We inspected other aspects of drinking water systems.

 seee...not exciting

Part of the job was responding to emergency situations that adversely affect the environment. In this case the saddle tank, that holds the diesel, on the truck ruptured and spilled out. It made it's way to water, no good.

So, I had a pretty good job. Some excitement, but not too much. I never had to take work home with me, unless I had the after hours emergency phone, which was only occasionally. There wasn't a lot of stress. And I enjoyed the company of most my co-workers. I however, will not miss this job. Glad I had the opportunity but I'm moving on to bigger and better things! My babies!
