The End of an Era
It's always a funny, surreal feeling everytime I prepare to leave a job. Perhaps even more so now. This has been my longest job, and I have forged some strong friendships in my department. It is very rare where I can work somewhere where I actually like and get along well with almost everyone.
The secretaries have been wonderful, my colleagues have been helpful, and my boss is really quite awesome. The office location has been superb as well, nothing like a 5 minute jaunt to Centrepoint or the board game shop when I just need to de-stress a bit (or to grab a drink).
I don't deal with goodbyes well, and I will probably miss this bunch of madcap colleagues. I suppose it was always inevitable that I would move on (money, prospects, all that jazz), it never really hit me till this week, knowing that after next week, I wouldn't get to banter with the secretaries in Mandarin anymore, or have a boardgame session with some of my colleagues during lunch, etc etc.
So long... and thanks for the memories.
