It has been really frustrating dealing with finishing up this job and preparing everything to turn it over to them. To begin with even though they don't have enough work to keep me, they couldn't seem to find the time to let me train them. And I have really had a hard time letting go. I have spent five years setting up systems, organizing and perfecting and they are going to destroy it all. It feels somehow invalidating...all of the work that I have put in is going to be disregarded, ignored, forgotten and destroyed. On top of that, even thought today was my last day it isn't the end. Because they didn't take the time to learn and because they shouldn't be doing it in the first place, they will be calling me with endless questions. And I haven't been paid for the last few weeks; so I am still sucked into a job that isn't mine anymore. I keep telling myself that it isn't my concern but it all just sucks!
This morning I finished up everything I needed to do. Tonight I handed them all the paperwork and files and turned over the QuickBooks to them. I do hope that they will get back on their feet; for their sakes as well as mine. And if there is a huge mess at that point then it will just mean more work for me as I put it all back together. They both gave me a hug as I left and I wished them good luck and then walked out. I am glad it is done; I wish it weren't happening at all, but it is and it has been very emotional and frustrating.

I wondered when you last day was. It would be so hard to walk out knowing they don't have the tools, skills and/or desire to keep it up to date like you would.
I just watched "Sound of Music" again and I love the line "when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window." Hang in there and look for that window. It may be exactly what you need.
I can't imagine the frustration of turning over all of that hard work. It was good to talk with you about it today. Even among all the frustrations and editing for a blog, but saying more with me, you still have a positive outlook, even if you don't want to sometimes. Take a couple of days to be "lazy" and just watch Max get teeth. He'll love it, you'll love it and when the time is right it will all come together. Love you!
I'm sorry they weren't more pro-active about learning the stuff. How frustrating. Good Luck with everything!
