To say i'm not affected, i'm lying. I almost teared when i was told. But i am happy. It was a good choice. We had a long chat that day. I was one of the first few to know. It was a crap feeling. But it really is a wise decision. I wonder when i will have that kind of courage. It takes a ton of courage to step out of your familiar zone and do something new. In the name of Passion. We had a long chat about passion and responsibility (but i'll leave this topic some other day when i can find time in between work, school, books and assignments).
My best friend at work is leaving.
When my manager got the news, she asked if i was ok. I was ok that day. I already knew about it days before. I just had very dark monday blues (symptom of migraine, or so she put it today). She started saying weird things to me. Like, "I wait for you" when we talked about investments and i told her i'd like to read up on it when i have time after i'm done with school and thats another 2 years and she wanted to too so she'll wait 2 years. Hmm.. Okay. Today she asked me some funny questions and told me things she usually wont. Like, how do i find working there, the work environment and childhood ambitions. Weird right? But yeah.
My conclusion is, she is afraid i'll be terribly affected or she is scared i'll be the next to leave. My other friend at work said she's probably trying to find out why people want to leave when we all seem happy. The keyword is here "seem" yeah. Ha!
Oh well, my sup informed me another colleague is also leaving. Okies. I didnt expect her to stay very long :X
I dont like the feeling of departing but lets face it. We will all leave someday... But we will meet again. Heck, they're meeting another friend from work who left tomorrow but i cant go coz i have to go school. If it werent for the fact that the module is very taxing and hard to comprehen, i would choose to go.
If you realized, i used the word friends coz they are. If seeing one another for some 9 to 10 hours every week day for the past 3.5 years, fostering good relationships and talking everything else other than work doesnt make us friends, what do?
I ought to sleep. Another long day tomorrow. Migraine, you are not welcomed. Please go.
