It's my last day at work. I'm having mixed feelings, which is totally unexpected, considering that I've been looking forward to this day. I guess it's because I'm gonna miss a lot of things. 4 months may not be too long but there sure have been a lot of things that took place in that span of time...
What i'll miss:
1. Waking up late... as in late. And not feeling guilty about it.
2. Ministop and 7-Eleven, because you can bet your life I will not set foot in any of those two establishments anytime soon.
3. My 5 boyfriends. Haha! During my cigarette breaks (which I usually took alone), I've come across 5 really cute and charming guys and I've called them my boyfriends ever since.
4. TrueAdvantage (our project). I know I have complained endlessly about copying and pasting and not being able to use my brain much. I just feel like my body's (my fingers especially) gonna miss seeing and working on the database.
5. Going to work in casual clothes. This, I guess, is the only perk I got from this job- being able to work in flip flops, jeans and tees.
6. Having super fast internet. Hay. This, I'm going to miss terribly.
7. Updating almost everyday. I don't think I'll be able to update as often as I've been updating since I started working because my PC at home hates me and there's Nico to compete with for cyber time.
8. Breakfasts with Kaia. No more Coffee Plus mornings. :(
9. My officemates. I don't think I would've survived for 4 months without them. They've kept the level of my sanity normal.
What i'm looking forward to:
1. Being awake in the day and asleep at night. I will finally be able to lead a normal life again. Halleluja!
2. Watching AI. Ever since it started, I haven't seen even one complete episode of it so now, I'm super excited to watch and be able to relate to what the whole world's currently talking about.
3. My next job. Whatever that may be.
4. Seeing my friends more often. Woohoo! No more missing them too much! :)
5. Hanging out at Cam's at night. I've missed 4 months of not being able to hang out in her bedroom at night. I'm glad I'm gonna be able to do that again!
6. YM and Friendster. No more firewall to keep me from them!
7. Oprah! Can't believe I was able to not watch her for 4 months! Haha! Exag! :)
8. Family QT. I'm glad I'll get to have dinner with my family again. I missed our long chats over meals and watching DVD's at my parents' room.
3 hours and11 minutes to go 'til I log out. The idea that I'm not logging back in tomorrow, or ever, saddens me. I'm gonna be typing 05504 (my employee number), then am clicking on log-out in our Time Keeping System for one last time. I'm not sad because I'm gonna miss the work. I'm sad because this has been a part of my life. Most of my officemates have become good friends and it's just sad that after tonight, we won't be seeing each other on a daily basis anymore. I will no longer be able to share meals with them at midnight or joke around with them in our stations. I'll miss Abby's and Adette's great humor and advice. I'll miss Myra's motherly presence. I'll miss Robelle's no-nonsense attitude. I'll miss Jo's laugter. I'll miss Carlo's pranks. I'll miss the people whom I've considered my family for the past 4 months. I'll miss my work station too! Heck, I'll even miss my report templates and Microsoft Excel!
But then again, leaving this job's what I've always wanted to do. I guess it's just normal to feel this way. After a while, I'll get over this sadness and go do things I've been deprived of doing ever since I started to work here. But I swear to God I will never forget the experiences I've gained and the wonderful people I've met. I don't know when we're gonna see each other next. I'm not even sure if we're ever going to see each other after tonight. All I know is that each one of them has made a huge impact in my life, and that, no matter how far apart we will be from each other, will keep them close to my heart.
Goodbye, SVI. Goodbye, TA. Goodbye, Abby, Jo, Carlo, My, Robelle and Adette.
Cherry on my Ice cream at 2:49:00 AM.
