Difficult days..

The 29th of May marked the day I walked out of the office for good. It was a difficult day, but one that has been looming for some time. I sent perhaps one of the most difficult emails I had to write, a final message for the friends I'm leaving behind.

I said that there was to be no goodbyes or farewells. I'm not that fond of goodbyes, they make me sad and that's the last thing I need now. The email was sent approximately at about 515pm, close to quitting time. After which I had to quickly leave, because the emotions were running a little high. I only came back later that night to quietly take my things and move on.

How can one say goodbye to ten years of memories? Everyone has become more like family rather than just friends. You love your family, and you don't leave the people you love. It's just not done.

On Saturday, just 4 days away I'll be leaving for Europe to begin my first week at the new company. It's just a familiarisation trip, and I still have little expectations, they probably have more to expect from me. I just hope my brain doesn't freeze up.

Definitely more to come.
