We’ve been in denial the last few months here at Omni, refusing to accept the fact that Tracee had decided to move back home to South Carolina to be closer to her family. She gave over three month’s notice of her departure but time moves on, and now we are forced to say goodbye. Her last day in the Omni office is today. (sniff sniff) We had a fun-filled going away celebration last Wednesday, shopping downtown and eating a delicious lunch at Osaka Japanese Restaurant. Today still seems awfully sad and arrived too quickly. Nevertheless, we have been fortunate to work with Tracee these last three years at Omni. She is a dedicated, hard worker and just a super fun person. We’re going to miss her, no doubt about it. But we wish her all the best and know the future holds great things for her! DANG Tracee, goodbye!
