And that's how it ended...sweet with bitter-sweet memories slip in between. I am talking about the conclusion of my career in semiconductor industry. I bid my co-workers adieu...went to the farewell lunch at Todai. But I am a bit dissapointed since the organizer/my ex-manager made a boo boo on the email telling people that lunch is tomorrow when it's actully today, so some of my good friends who had already left the company couldn't make it. Oh well...still 20 something people show up and we had a good laugh, or I mostly laughed at my good luck in exiting this industry.
This week has been unproductive anyway, I just completed passdown here and there and packed my stuffs. I came in at 10, checked emails, went lunch, checked some more emails, and went home at 2 or 3 pm....what a life !! My boss dropped by today to let me know the fat pay raise that I will get if I stay...oh well...not worth it. I left the company with a jolly heart a.k.a no regret at all but leaving my co-workers whom I have known so well is a bit tough...believe it or not, I was trying all my best not to personally say goodbye to each and every fantastic individual because that will just burst me to tears....
Another tear to shed...leaving my lovely roomie and hommie apartment, we've been roomating for almost 4 years and have known each other for almost 6 years starting college time. She is not just my roomie but also my best friend...but I am still in Bay Area so we'll catch up every now and then.
My room is almost empty and boxes are neatly stacked in the living room, waiting for the movers a.k.a some friends that I recruit to move it next weekend. and No, I haven't found a place to live so those stuffs will have to go to storage. Moving is always an effective way to purge out junks. Salvation Army will love me very much, I'll donate 5 boxes worth of goodies, mostly stuffs that are either too big, too small or bought out of impulse.
