...last day with the pornographies, the brick walls, the bars on the windows. I'm so ready for this.
9:00am
"It's your last day doll...ready?"
A somewhat supportive sui hon drops me off at the front door. Lakeshore no more, it will be a new route from now on. And I'll drive. When I met Ken here I thought for sure I had him pegged. I have never been so wrong. From thai fighting to ice shoes, disney songs to a love for baking, the surprises are still endless. He was my first Happy Birthday office song. I remember having to ask what his name was while i carried the cake to his desk, prepared to sing. (we used to do cake for our employees on their birthdays.) The first time I really talked to him I was doing some work in the graphics department at the computer beside him. Tasked to crop some pictures, I asked him an honest work related question. We won't go there.
Ha. Who knew?
10:00am
The vibe is calm, i'm excited about change, trying not to let nostalgia creep its way in. at least not yet. I cleared out my desk yesterday, all i have to do is pick up the plant on my desk and walk out of here at the end of the day. Good. Focus.
10:18am
Well, the end of the day is still hours away, and a woman I work with just brought me flowers. I talk to Reesa alot about 'growing up'. I kid you not, she's been a "motherly" influence since i started working here, always making sure I've eaten and asking me how I'm doing, how's ken, do i need to talk. Reesa's great. She gave me a big friendly hug and kissed me on the top of the head and wished me the best. Then said "that's all i'm gonna say, don't worry!"
The battle begins.

10:48am
A trip to the kitchen to find a vase for these massive happy sunflowers, and heat up my coffee. I trade space with someones pasta. It's Patricks. Patrick (graduated from the customer service realm) has a cool space age rocket science background, an interest in anime, and told me once about the chemical breakdown of the blue hair dye. It was blended so well into the conversation, I almost didn't notice. You just never know about people.
"Isn't it your last day?"

that went well, but the flowers are falling over.
11:45am
Liberty calling, Tricia and I go for a walk. She wants the "good" coffee. I don't blame her, if fact I encourage it. May the libery cafe and her legacy continue. While QATrish organizes her coffee, I absentmindedly colour co-ordinated the special tea packages in the basket on the counter. I didn't look around. I noted the hollow sound the wooden steps made on the way out. I didn't even say goodbye to the owner. How sad.

HAhAHA.
So, you're working with carpets. The jokes surrounding the Shag section are already getting tired. Better get'em in you got 2 hours left. I just had the best pumpkin pie I've ever had. After all, 'tis the season. the texture was perfect, the crust was rich and not too flaky, but no whipped stuff on the top...yeah i won't be saying that out loud around here. We just got back from lunch at the Academy of Spherical arts. A very nice send off from the QA department...and Rob. Thank you rob. :)
The buffet was great, but the desert was way better. They had caramel apple cheesecake too.
A card that went around the office was placed on the table for me. After seeing the all the script on the inside i decided to read it later. Perhaps i should stop keeping score and let nostalgia be. or maybe, i'm avoiding it until i have some time to enjoy it. OR maybe i should spoon feed myself some more psychological cheesecake and get back to work.
Right now Aaron is standing across from me. He stares alot, with a big smile. sorta creepy. He has wound up some chattering teeth and is pointing them at me, still smiling...and staring. He'd make a pretty decent mime if he liked people.
I am imagining what would happen if you put the set of chatter teeth in your mouth while they were chattering?
Lets see if he'll do it...
4:41pm
*SIGH*
Paper work? done. Exit interview? why sure i'll tell you how i really feel...
To everyone who signed the card, shook hands, hugged, emailed, blogged, instant messaged or spontaneously picked up their cell phone to wish me luck,
..THaNk YoU..
(For giving Nostalgia some serious bonus points.)
You guys are awesome. aaww crap...
