Goodbye
“Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave.Someone always leaves.Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.” ~Charles M. Schulz~
This was what was written on my first line of my "goodbye" email. It was a difficult time. In a sense, everyone was rather tensed because the retrenchment exercise was supposed to be done on that day itself.
Anyway, after having breakfast, I immediately went on to do all the clearance procedure before an employee can leave. Two days ago, during my final dept meeting, they presented me with a farewell gift. A handbag! And a silver necklace. And of course a cute card with touching messages. On Friday, my manager gave me another gift. A thermos flask with tea strainer, and a name card holder, which she said it might come useful for my future job. So thoughtful. Even though I've been here for just about a year, they treated me as though I was there for 5 to 10 years! Hehehe.
Anyway, I managed to leave earlier at about 2.30pm. Hehe. Went home to do some housework, and after that went to Bugis to meet up with my friends who were coming down for a visit!
