Relinquishing responsibilities at the old job.

I'm in the process of changing jobs. I have given up all my keys but the one that locks the front door to the office building. As I was walking down the street one day after handing over several keys I felt really good. Not just that the load on my keychain was lighter but that smaller handfull of keys symbolized something more. That my emotional load was lighter, My responsiblities were less. Being responsible for the actions of 35 underlings is not easy. Even when they are doing everything right I have to be on my toes just to make sure everyone is doing ok. That is a real burden that I hadn't noticed as it gradually crept up on me. But when I sudenly handed over my job title to another guy I really noticed a difference. So life is good this week.
