High Praise

In spite of my impending departure, Human Resources insisted my supervisor perform my annual review.

After getting dinged for being "verbose" in my last review (and because I knew I was leaving), I was quite succinct in describing my accomplishments and work during the past year.

Supervisor agreed I've had a great year, not only mastering closeout procedures but also juggling my active tasks and supporting my internal customers. And no one gets the final deliverables like I do! I am the Goddess of Final Deliverables!

She said I've set some high standards for whoever takes over. (She's got that right). My RAs love working with me and one even said "Mary Ellen is a value to me that is beyond measure" and gushed about me to my supervisor at a meeting a few months ago. And this from one of my "low maintenance" RAs.

It's nice to know my customers appreciate my work--to the point that they rave about me to others.

Just when I'm kicking butt at everything, it's time to go off on other new adventures. Makes it a bittersweet departure.

I wanted to leave on a high note--and I am. And I've got the documentation to prove it. :)
