Your out of the office is still sending out the link to your page. I was compelled to click. Being a Best Buy lifer (started at 18 - that was some 22 years ago), I sort of relate to your story. I am still here working for a company that is intermixed into who I am. Which is really odd when you think about it. What is it about this company that becomes so personal? My inital thoughts are bring me to the people that work for BBY believe they can postitively impact others. In my heart I know BBY is not about a greater good, we sell electronics and services. But sometimes, if you look a certain way in the light, people around you are just a little better off. Ginger, As of today you were still on one of my lists for Music at work.

I feel like I'm living a bit of a parallel life over here in my own skin; from the comments you've gotten so far, it seems like we aren't alone. You're the brave one to write it out loud. Well done. Looking forward to getting together with you soon to compare 'time off' notes. ; ) There’s a lot of wisdom in your words, G.

As I was exiting, a wise friend advised me to allow time to decompress. That time allowed me to rediscover who I was (after 19+ years), and chart my next steps. At the end of the day. You miss the people - not the company. There is life after BBY - as long as you don't lose your connection to the people that mean alot to you.
