My last day at work today (16may)

One month passed so so fast, today is my last day (oops should be was). First thing in the morning, still busy teaching the temp gal. Busy busy busy, issue after issue, with the audit coming soon, everyone is checking on things. Well, so settled everything as much as I can, help in whatever ways I can.

Then it was near to 5.30pm, suddenly the marketing team appeared in front of me. One mgr made a speech, thanking me and stuff. Then boss made her thank you speech too and presented the card and gift to me. All the while I was smiling and nodding (kinda paisei). Then the mgr who was standing next to me, hugged me. After hugging her, I hugged my boss and my tears started. It so paisei, once I started, cant stop. Then hugged a few other colleagues. It has been almost 7 yrs, sure will have feelings.

After I got home, I read the card they wrote for me. While reading, I got emotional again but at least I din cry liao. The team gave me a $200 m1 vouchers (will be getting myself a new HP heehee). My boss gave me an additional $50 taka vouchers.

Back track a bit - today I sent out a few Goodbye email to different group of pple (business, customers/doctors and colleagues).
Business - basically telling them that today last day, my email will still be valid as my temp gal will be using.
Customers/doctors - telling them the same as above (some doctors replied, saying it sad to hear me leaving, and compliment me) *feels really good to get compliment like tat :)
Colleagues also got two groups
- one :to provide my blog address so we can still keep in touch
- two :just to say goodbye without any contact at all (ps. my 'colleague' falls into this category)

Talking about my 'colleague' (hmmmm the one who used to say we know so long, so long time fren blah blah blah), told her when was my last day b4 as she asked, ok nevermind maybe she busy or wat and forgot today is my last day...But I sent out email saying goodbye, initially din wanna send to her but still I did...most who received my goodbye email, replied me wishing me all the best and etc...even those whom I'm not close with, replied...but I din see any from her nor hear from her...not even a SameTime (works like MSN but is within the company)...well, benefits of doubt, maybe she replied at the end of the day after I have logout :)

Anyway, Good Bye GSK, will still keep in touch with my colleagues BUT not my 'colleague'
