My last day at work

It was finally my last working day last Thursday at XX company. Haha. Long awaited! However, it was quite a busy whirlwind because I had last minute stuff to help them clear. Sighz.

Anyway, sent out emails notifying the agencies and clients that I work with that I was leaving and to contact the relevant parties. Was particularly pleased and encouraged by their responses - basically they were sad and shocked that I was leaving and thanked me for my help and efficiency for the past 2 years. Was really happy when one of the media reps in India actually emailed me back & said she was sorry to see me go because I had been a great help, fast & quick. And this was the media rep that I initially had lots of conflicts with as she always submitted late stuff. Thankfully, I seemed to "tamed" her or she toed the line & would email me to check if urgent ads can be booked first. That itself, is an achievement. In addition, I am glad I made a few friends, all who said that it was a smooth & good working relationship.

My boss & dept popped Tattinger champagne (albeit left over stock that was supposed to be given to the agencies) and toasted me to my future, as well as the other ang moh colleague who is also leaving. It's good to know that your work is appreciated but sadly, it only happens when people leave in this company!

After that, the sales managers took me & my marketing colleague out for drinks where we chatted easily. It was my 3rd time out with them for the past 2 years. One of the manager said that they should lunch together more often next time and have drinks. I smiled but thought to myself, "you are always all talk and no action".

Anyway I am glad I have left for my greener pastures - it will be a better career path!
