One Door Closes... Another Door Opens...?
Jun. 30th, 2004 06:16 pmSo it ends.
It was (name deleted)'s last day at work today; he came round last night for dinner, and I gave him some parting gifts and a farewell hug. They had a presentation at work for him - I know for a fact he didn't want one, and I wasn't surprised to see him try and escape for a cigarette at 11am. He was hauled back into the office by Carole. He responded to the plaudits offered to him by starting "I'd like to say I've enjoyed it here but..." And didn't finish. I know there were a few home truths he wanted to tell a few people, but for once in his life, discretion was the better part of valour.
I know for a fact there will be one or two muttering "Thank heavens he's gone!" under their breath. Their loss.
And now he's gone, and I'm not sure how I feel. Two years ago, I would have probably been a complete mess, but now...
I'm not sure.
