Closing of a chapter
Monday, March 9, 2009
Rather hectic last day at work getting the necessary clearance and handing over of task. Ended up with only 10 mins to type a generic farewell e-mail to all before surrendering my computer access card. Spent a couple of hours doing my 'farewell' rounds and yes it's nice to know that my presence will be missed ... perhaps for a minute or two before people get swept up by the usual whirlwind of events.

Though a rather short stint lasting only sixteen months, I've grown and learnt alot in the area of humility and how one can accomplish any seemingly impossible tasks by starting with baby steps. Responses I'll always remember are 'be mission-focused', 'just suck it up and do it' and 'don't tell me your problem, I'm not your father'. Harsh but it did toughen me up somewhat.

Received a farewell message from my boss in the evening - 'You have helped me alot against all odds and I appreciate it. Take care when travelling to far, exotic places. You will be missed.' Finally, the pat on my back that I've yearned for .... the concluding paragraph for this chapter of my life ...
