I warked for a small mom and pop place for almost 12 years. I was VP at the time that I gave my required (employment contract) 4 week notice. 2 Hours after I gave my notice the owner walked into my office and told me to leave right now.

It was really weird, and I can tell you the 1st few weeks of the new gig will be just as weird, you get into a zone working in the same place, a comfort zone, familiarity. That is gone. Everyone is new, the people you considered friends are gone.

But it gets better as the weeks tick off and you get into projects. I can honestly say the first 2 or 3 days at the new job were horrible for me emotionally. It was really hard to go somewhere new.
