Okay, so I had a going away happy hour tonight. It was nice! Or Cool! It was nice to get together with my old work mates and toss back a few beers. It reminds me of the good ol' days when I first started at GRCI. Chuck, Bethanne, Jen, Marc, Scap, and Neil who were there when I started over 12 years ago showed up to send me on my way in liquid style. Bill, Mahendra and my friend Ron were there as well. Mahendra and I stuck around till after 10pm talking about AT&T and how things were stuck in a bad groove. It was really nice to be drinking beers with my coworkers; it's something that we haven't done in a very long while. It's unfortunate that someone has to leave for us to get together, relax and drink a few beers. Ah, well... I guess that's what age and family obligations impose upon us all.
Tomorrow there is a luncheon to bid me farwell. I can't deny that I am a little scared of the attention. The last time I looked, 19 people replied that they would be there to bid me farwell. It's really nice that so many would come out and say goodbye. It's going to be sad to say goodbye to all those that I have worked with over the past 12 years. I don't think it's going to be to be a final goodbye, but who knows what the future brings!
Stay tuned for future posts! I hope to share my ups and downs as the adventure progresses over the next 9 plus weeks!
I am looking forward to that future and hope the best for all!
:)
