Irreplacable

I was reminded this week of Beyonce's song "Irreplacable" when they hired a guy into my old job. If you have forgotten, I resigned at Delta about a year ago but they have never backfilled my position until this week. I have been contracting with them every since to fill the gap. I had the pleasure of reviewing resumes, interviewing and recommending my replacement. Working myself right out of a job. I knew this thing was only temporary but it has been a little weird. I must say that we seem to have gotten a good guy and he is starting on July 1.

What does this mean for me professionally? Well, my contract ends Aug. 31. Yipee! I think. The person who coined the phrase "mixed emotions" must have just given up a really cool job to stay at home with family. I have never in my life been so happy and so sad all at the same time. I feel the tears well up inside and nothing comes but a big smile on my face. Darryl has a way of always putting things in the right perspective. He hit the nail on the head when he said "nothing's permanent."

I would appreciate any words of advise as I am about to embark in uncharted territory.
