It finally arrived, my last day at work and I never really had an idea on how I would feel at this moment, so what I did felt at the end of the day a mixture of relief, happiness, sadness and awe is not at all what I expected.
Everyone was just sooo nice and are genuinely sad that I was leaving. The question “when are you coming back” pops up more than I could count and last of all are the unexpected presents that arrived this week. I love the crumpler bag that work bought for me, incredibly touched by the presents telemarketing purchased and was more than a little surprised at the two gorgeous bunches of flowers from two of my agencies.
I guess the adage, you get back what you give is a clear illustration. At the same time, leaving felt so right and all the good wishes made my last few steps away from work a lot lighter than I could have imagined.
Wow, that’s one great sendoff, you painted most of them as selfish ogres… Maybe even ogres know how to farewell? Shrek was right.
Those who sends me off are definitely not the selfish ogres, though they do exist.
