How do you feel on your Last Day at work or at school?

If I can recollect correctly, I felt relieved at both the last days of college life as well as when I clocked the last time out of office. I felt free. i felt that day is done. i felt that all my obligations has been fulfilled. I felt I have done my part to society. No sadness. No regrets. A smile on my face as I leave the open day to personal liberties at long last!

Yep i know this feeling. Whenever it's my last day at work i feel it's really my last day at work and i don't know why. I certainly don't feel like it's my first day cuz "hello?" it's my last day. I don't know. It's weird. Sorta like the kaleidoscope world or twilight zone.

hi carpediem used up worn out, how dare I be almost 80, my last day of wo rk all my coworkers though I had retired, little did they know that office politics had reared its ugly head and that the new second in command had told the boss fire that Mrs. Hatley or I quit, I will not work with someone old like that.well most of you on facebook have seen my photo and most of my friends here do not think I look bad at all.But the good and bad thing was my boss the branch manager and her assistant were fired a week later for firing me when they had no reason but age as I was doing my job better than the younger women.I was asked to come back but alas I could not as I had broken my left shoulder making my days at shelving books and media a thing of the past.so yes younger people want to retire us blah blah good for you blah, I would rather be working than have so much time on my hands.

....it's very fulfilling...it's like at last, my days with this sort of things or this place or in this situation will soon be over and I will be facing another greater challenge and a new environment...the fun and worst memories that I had while staying in this particular place is worth treasuring...i don't feel sad...I am rather excited and satisfied..

for school its mixed emotions, happy because after all the hardships your already done, sad because you will no longer see more often your friends and classmates..and youll leave your alma mater whos been your second home for the longest time..in work i think i would fell very very sad, like its for my living, its my life,.

Most of my last days I felt like I was having labor pains but not allowed to scream it out.

When I graduated from college, I was not really sentimental during my last day in school because I really wanted to finish school and get away with studying and preparing reports.hehehe. At work, every time I resigned from my job there's no feeling of loss or sadness because I'm aching to move already so no way to feel such loss hehehe

When it came to school I smiled. when it came to work, i felt abit disappointed and i simply frowned back when I was working with an american insurance company. But other times i felt success of leaving cause of other bosses who couldn't manage their people well.

I felt happy during my last days at school, I was thinking it will be my last days of sleepless nights because of the projects and homeworks and a new journey is about to come. I feel a bit anxious for I really don't know what is it out there. I don't have the exact answers on what a working world would be like. But when i got my first job, it was fun..i had to leave from that though because of some much more important issues to be taken care of. I felt sad for the built friendship ended so soon..I know it will never be the same when you're away with friends, but this is life and we should face it positively to be able to live it the best way we can.

Just last Friday it was my last day at work after almost three years (four months to complete the year). As that day approached my mind was focusing on things left to do and give as much training as possible (I left a post of a senior manager). Then on the day prior to the last something happened that made me quite happy to leave. A management decision on which I was not involved from my boss perhaps thinking that I was not going to be trust worthy? or whatever reason... in any case it surely displeased me. They had modified the email addresses that I had chosen by following the personnel's name and substituted them with a rnd, rnd1, rnd2, or prod, prod1, prod2, acct, acct2 etc.. by following the departments and making become the email address impersonal. This has reminded me how the company didn't actually follow basic things of modern management and perhaps I was better off with a new job. I saluted my ex colleagues, even the operators, from which I found more warmth than executives and management.

I feel sad on my last day of work or school because that has been a part of my life that is now changing. If I was to graduate from school, I would also be excited because it is a chance for me to start a new career. I am currently taking classes at Ashford University and have about a year to go. The classes are very intensive and only last five weeks. I don't really have a chance to feel anything because they end one week and my new class starts the next week.

I was excited on my last day at school because as a regular student i was burden with so much school work.During my graduation so much feelings was there.I feel emotional,i saw all my batch mates happy and emotional as i am.!As we move along in the journey of life we need to face the challenging life and admit the fact that we are no longer students anymore,as we move along we are now assign to new task for selves development.Mixed emotion that is unexplainable that was my emotion during my last day in school.

for me if suppose last day in my office, I will be very upset and not in good mood because of several like I might not meet again to those friends, might not possible to share good and bads ups and down of these busy life.... on the other hand, it will be good for me to learn some thing by new opportunity..to get in touch with new people whom ever I was not meet them and get a chance to learn some thing new.. So at last, I would like to say every coin as two side, so every change has two side one is bad and other sad..but in life we should always think positively only....

hmmm tyred i think . I am happy that end the work but i would like to relax and sleep for hours!

i used to spend years with my employers. Actually, if you've been with people for quite so long, friendship developed, and most of my previous employers, that's the thing I found hart to leave. When we had our last day in the office, it was spent by having a dinner. During that time, our previous gathering filled with fun were shown through slides, and it made us cry then. There's really lot of things we've been shared together. If I say I spend years being with them, it means 5 yrs or more. So it would really be a sad feeling for being departed with my colleagues. I missed them all actually.

Hi, Let's me share with you on my last day at work. I was working at the bank at call centre department. and I resigned because I was going to settle down at another country. I was so happy on my last day work,because, I was going to have my Free Time,no more stress work on my shoulder. Of course, I would still need to do my work well and make sure I finished up whatever outstanding work I have in hand before I left the company. I did give some sweets for my colleagues as a farewell gifts and some of my close colleagues gave me present too. So touching!!

I believe it is sort of a happy fear. Where you know you must move on but sadden by the thought of leaving others behind. We can still communicate but it won't be the same as many of us know that moving on means to being busy and no time for the past.

When we are at the first day of school we usually wish that school would end fast and we would then go home. In the last day it would be quite the opposite for me. I would spend my time meeting and try to get their contact numbers and i would also want to know where each and every classmate of mine is going to and what are his future plans. Usually we have a farewell party which is organized by our juniors. We cry because they remind us of how glorious or school or college days were and they make us wanna stay there forever. It really is a great day! I may skip the first day of college but never the last day! Cheers!

It is always a bittersweet experience. You want to go to the new place and you really do not want to leave the folks at the old place.

Thanks for starting this discussion I felt like a child pushed into water without swimming lessons when I was about to leave school for higher education. It was like leaving that cocoon of safety. I almost cried but the feeling that I am in for a new world's experience prevented tears. Of course I miss my friend, teachers and mentors..
