See ya Later
Re: Emma Gets a Real Job
By Emma Austin
I thought I was going to run out of here, waving as I went, leaving a trail of sawdust behind. I mean, this was certainly never my dream job…I really did get named “Worst Employee Ever”. I won’t deny that. Plus, with our German lineage, I didn’t think we did this sad, talk about our feelings kind of stuff. However, I am sad to leave. I have really enjoyed working for my Dad. I have enjoyed designing marketing materials and discovering skills I didn’t know I had. (Although I still don’t think I have created anything special.) I also enjoyed our little moments of collaboration, even though some of them really didn’t get us anywhere. Most of all, though, I enjoyed all of the fun we have had in the office. My Dad and I have spent a lot of time laughing- laughing at the fact that I can be a really terrible employee, laughing at his extreme lack of computer skills, and laughing at the weird things we discovered on the internet when we really should have been working. This job was a learning experience, it was a great opportunity to spend time with my Dad, and it was a lot of fun. I can say that there are a lot of things I won’t miss about working at Probst Furniture Makers, but I will miss working for my Dad.
But, hey, I do live kind of close by, so if you ever have a computer problem, or find a really funny video, just give me a call. If not, I will at least see you at Christmas. 
Dad, thanks for putting up with me, thanks for all of the opportunities, and thanks for all the fun. I love you.
And, in the words of Eddie Austin, “Welp, see ya later!”
