Last day at work ...

Dear to whom it may not concern ...

After three years of working at my company, yesterday was my last day at ... It was not easy going through the day knowing I won't be working with all my colleagues anymore ... :-(

I wrote a long cheesy farewell email and sent it to all the my colleagues ... and in one of the sentences I wrote:

"First and foremost I’d like to thank Mike and Eileen for inspiring me and sharing their knowledge and experiences. It won’t be exaggeration if I said I owe it all to you, well maybe not all of it but most of it, maybe not most of it but a significant portion of it."

So my cheeky boss, Mike, replies with a long email and to get back at me for saying the above, he says:

I don’t understand your quote: “maybe not all of it but most of it, maybe not most of it but a significant portion of it?” That sounds like me talking with the accountant about your gratuity settlement. (Just teasing, babe.)".

Then in the evening we all went and had an open-bar farewell party, courtesy my boss.

Now one of my biggest fears has always been change and the fear of the unknown, and I'm not sure what to expect yet at my new company, but it's looking really boring. Although stable, but boring.

But at least now I don't have to worry about spending at least 2 weeks every month traveling to other countries on silly business trips, and I don't have to worry about dealing with the stupidist clients on the face of the earth on a daily basis.

Next Sunday is my first day in the new company, so I'll keep you posted how that goes.

Wish me luck guys :-)
