ORD - Finally

D-Day.

Just when I was about to send off the last email, the Man walked in. And so, I had to stay back another 30 mins to "entertain" him one last time. Anyway, the conversation went ok. We spoke about organisational philosophy. His favourite topic. As usual, me the student.

Back to the topic.

I spent the last day briefing folks who had to take over some functions from me as well as finishing off the last assignment.

I had mixed feelings. Happy, relieved yet sad. I tried hard not to look back. The cube, the printer, the meeting rooms, the folks. Eight years. Kind of like my second home, especially since I usually came in pretty early and left pretty late almost everyday.

The folks on my floor acted normally, though a few close ones were happy yet sad to see me go. Happy that I am out of the current situation. Sad that they have one less person to pour out their unhappiness and frustrations. You see, I sometimes part-time as Aunt Agony.

It is always sad to say goodbye. But this place has been a meaningful one to me. I wouldn't be where and what I am today without the folks I had encountered in this place.

As mentioned, I am appreciative to all and will miss most.
