Gone
Its hard to believe that I'm finally finished in London. With everything that's gone on, it feels like it's been half a decade since I last drove to work, up Harrow's infamous Hill.
With my life as hectic as it's been, it feels like I haven't seen them in years, not just weeks. I miss some of the clients. I miss Tony ringing me up and giving me new and original excuses. I miss Pritesh and his stewed tea. I miss Ian and his phone calls. I miss Bob and the shared jokes. Yeah, miss you too Jay.
My last day was a bit of a crazy affair. I wasn't fully aware that I was leaving. It felt like any other friday, except for the fact that we all had lots of cold beer and had loaded computer games onto all the office systems.

Unfortunatly, my reputation as an advanced strategist was drasticly unfounded and my poor little artificially intelligent men got smeared accross the map. To be totally fucked over by ones soon-to-be ex-boss is a lesson in humility.

Yeah. Thanks. Miss you too. Arsehole.
But it really was a great night. It has been said that 'Big Girls Dont Cry' and I fought the tears off bravely. It was only through the aid of alcohol that kept me from welling up and spilling over.
*snuffle*
I'm so happy where I am, but I also wish that I could somehow have the best of both worlds. I miss the faces and the people. I miss the laughter and the friendship.
And if you're all reading this - email me, godamnit!!!
