the official pardon

Last week, just before I was about to knock off from work, the director came up from behind me and said "Grace."

Nearly made me jump. And so the awkwardness came again. Was wondering what she was going to say again this time round.

Turned out that she was ok with me leaving the organisation by the end of July (as originally agreed) and that she had gotten over it. Nobody wanted it to turn out this way, so no hard feelings, she said.

I really didn't know how to reply. So after opening and closing my mouth a few times, I just said "thank you", knowing that I looked and sounded rather stupid.

Sigh. Actually, if anything at all, I am my harshest critic. I am ten times harder on myself than anyone else.

Now that I have received the official pardon from the director, I have to work on the next person that really needs to learn to let go. Myself.
