A few minutes ago, I drafted my letter of resignation. Yes! Finally, I am leaving the finance division. Funny how long I have waited, how many buildings within Makati City and beyond I have visited, how many under time, half days leaves I had to take just to be able to do an interview—only to realize that I will just be moving to another floor within the same familiar building, another department within the same company. That is the thing with waiting or looking for something (or someone), I guess. Same life lessons. When I think of how long I have waited for this day-- to say goodbye to a colorful, tumultuous, fun, challenging, frustrating, exciting, happy, sad job—I should be in a state of euphoria. But a quick glance at the empty chairs around me made me feel a bit nostalgic. So many different people have taken these seats, so many stories to tell with each new batch of faces. My experiences with each of them very special.
But then again, who am I kidding?! I can’t deny that I am excited. A bit wary of what awaits yet quite ready to embrace the change.
The next tough part is informing my superiors in Hong Kong but the toughest would be telling my team mates. At this point, I am so glad I am just one floor away. When I am feeling lonely talking to myself in that nook reserved for me at the 17th floor, I could just pay these guys a visit and bully them like I always do, hoping to get rewarded with a smile or better yet, a hearty laugh.
Now, I can glide across my pond, minus the restless paddling ‘neath the waters.
Life. Beautiful, isn’t it
