Ever Feel Like You Have Been Taken For Granted?

Today is April Fools day so I sent an email to my coworkers telling them I found a new job, a promotion at another location.  It was very interesting to see how people would react once they thought I was leaving.  While all of them but one fell for the April Fools joke, some congratulated me, others hugged me, while others just hated to see me leave.  I did of course tell each person that came to me that it was an April Fools joke instead of letting them linger on believing it was true. The one negative person in the group who likes to be seen as the wise one, did not fall for it and new it was an April Fools joke.  It just goes to show you how the difference between a positive and negative outlook impacts your communications skills.  For the most part, I felt loved and appreciated once again and feel like a very integral part of the team.
