freedom awaits

after 2 and a half long years of complaining, bitching and wanting to fly away, I've finally done the deed on 8th Sep.

was supposed to be already gone by 19th but i'm staying till 29th to do whatever i can to clean up the department's mountain of templates

i broke down when i handed the letter. haha. quite silly considering how much i've been wanting to leave ever since "ever since".

but there was just a gush of emotions at that moment.

how i'm really comfortable with the people here, with my seat, my computer and the executive toilet. (hah)
how this is my first job after graduation and i'm moving to a totally new industry facing totally new challenges.
how the bosses are sometimes tolerable.
how she is able to finally recognise my abilities and had been giving me more and more new responsibilities.
how i have to leave noormie and keng behind..
how i wont be able to have weekly lunches with xer xer anymore.
how i wont be having my gigantic inbox with emails all the way from 2006.
how i will have to ditch the irritating emails sent by them which i kept till today.

but ever since throwing the letter, there were many instances where i thank goodness for being able to fly away soon. like when she comes up with even more extensive and time-consuming meaningless templates, like when there are people here with asses on their heads instead of the brain, like when one single newspaper article can make the whole company change their business model instantly, like when i have to sit in for 6 meetings in a day, like when i have to answer stupid questions daily from assheads.

i'm thankful.

oh yeah. she asked the welfare team to do a farewell for me. how shocking is that?! but of course it won't be a dedicated session. it has to be combined with joyful events such as 3 other people's birthdays. money is only well-spent that way, ya'know?

anyway, i'm appreciative.

countdown. 7 days to 29th :)

oh yeah. i've not forgotten the dream of flipping the table and breaking the laptop. the slow and sucky lenovo seems to be perfect. :)
