My last day at Firstwaters was a simple and sweet one. I was done with work before lunch, and was pretty much just meddling ard with my laptop - last few spins at Viwawa since it was a buddyless lunch again (an end similar to its beginning). The desk drawer was clear from any leftover work; in short, i was packed and ready to go by 3pm.
In retrospect, the 9 weeks in Firstwaters gave me the insight I desperately needed. A simple desk job in CBD with not too challenging jobscope, cliched but necessary for a newbie like me who'd only always been imagining city work life - 8-9am, 12-2pm, and 5-7pm rush hours. Well. Now i know THAT is at least true. Eew. Not my cup of tea if i can avoid it.
But the generousity of the Boss is supremely touching. From the 1st day to the very last and more, i can definitely say i wasn't mistreated; on the contrary I was very warmly welcomed and introduced to the cold, cemented working world with cheerful smiles and a daily mug of steaming soyabean drink. Later on, when it was apparent that I wasn't too comfortable with some things, she always took time to talk to me to ease any doubts i had. Ahh. What's better than a good boss? (Good colleagues of course but then again she was the only one i had)
I couldn't leave without giving her a token of appreciation - My original handmade cards! (the 'U're Cool' card i made for the only other collegue in e office who was a great guy - always dropping little notes of wisdom as he passed by my desk.)
To my Dear Boss:
Thank you so much for the past 9 weeks..i don't think i'll ever meet another quite like you (judging frm my peers' gripes). I'm glad you were the one who showed me the first step of this very long way and offered your many acts of generosity to such a newbie as I. You totally rock my socks!! =]
