Last Day in the Office of Woe
Today was my last day in the office that i have spent the last 14mths of my life. I spent everyday of the first month i was there questioning my decision of moving from a secure environment where my peers and superiors thought highly of my accomplishments, to a place where my boss treated me like dirt. On the 4th month, my good friend got terminated.
On the 7th month, 2 new members were added to this tumultuous team. With these additions, life was slightly more enjoyable, but still not good. On the 12th month, my boss got himself booted out the door. With that came change and prosperity to 6 floor JTC. With the lead of a new champion, we grew together, helping one another along the ever-winding road of F.
And now, here i am alone at home on a thursday night. I am sad. Sad that i have left a Department whose champion i truly admire and respect. Sad that i have 'sold out' my friends and left when i had once proudly proclaimed that i would stay just to protect them from the evils of F. For this i am not proud. I have had some truly enjoyable amd memorable times in F and these memories will stay with me always.
Many of my friends shook my hand today, and said 'better offer huh? Greener pastures huh? Well, to that i say what colour the grass, i do not know now. But it will definitely be a different colour. Better offer? Maybe in monetary terms. But stay tuned for in time, i will be able to answer trhese 2 questions in totality. Better or worse, i have committed myself to this path the moment i handed in my letter.
So here i am again... balancing precariously on the precipice of life, not knowing where my choice will take me. It is with much anticipation and hesitant expectation that i will go to the new place on Monday, to discover what adventures A has in store for me.
