Today is my last day at Premera. Yesterday I was taken out to lunch by my current team. Last Friday three people I used to work with on HIPAA took me out, and today, another group from HIPAA is taking me out.

I am sad to leave so many cool people I enjoy working with, but I don't really feel sad. I kind of feel neutral. It's just another day at work for everyone; today I'm here, tomorrow I won't be. It just doesn't feel different to me.

There are a handful of people who make working here a great pleasure, but a few of them I will continue to see every week at class, and others I expect to stay in touch with. My friend Margot is even coming over for Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow I'll wake up, same as every other day, only I'll head in the opposite direction to go to work. I hope I will measure up to what they need. I still feel woefully inadequate, in spite of people who've said very supportive things about the contibutions I've made here at Premera. I keep thinking I'm getting in over my head.

I guess I'll soon find out whether I've made a good move or a bad one.
