My Last Day at Smart
Yesterday (August 31) was my last day to be employed by Smart Communications Inc. and it felt odd to be leaving. Unlike school where everyone graduates and moves on at the same time, this time, it’s only I leaving while everyone else stays on, continuing the work and the routine that I had been very much a part of for the past 20 months. Sure the work itself had a tendency to be mundane and at times even stressful, but I enjoyed the company. If there was one good thing to result from ‘the breakup’ it was that I became closer to my officemates which doesn’t seem to be too good a thing at the moment as it’s now harder to leave. During my exit interview I was asked what I like most about the job I had just given up and I told them that I very much enjoyed the atmosphere. It isn’t everyday you find a job where everyone is approximately the same age as yourself and as kalog as this bunch. It was like working with your barkada. No matter how irate the subscriber was, you can always vent to each other and within minutes your head is a lot cooler, your blood stops boiling and your thoughts of murder seem to fade. It’s always hard to keep in touch with friends once you’ve left, but I do sincerely hope to keep in touch with the Smart bunch. I’ll really miss them.
