Whoa.
Last day of work, last day in Afula. What a drama.
Saying goodbye to all the people today was pretty dramatic.
I bought two delicious frozen cakes (a cheesecake and a chocolate cake) to bring with me today, celebrating my last day of work.
I gave out to everybody, my co-workers, the two neighbor offices and some of our clients who came to say goodbye to me.
It wasn't easy, they didn't want me to leave. They were kinda actually wiling and hoping I won't succeed at the new office I'm going to and so to come back to Afula. I should've taken that as a compliment, but I was kinda offended by it; I am stressed out and really want to prove my self and be great at the new office, and they, in the other hand, are all wishing I won't be. I know they only meant well because they love me, but still. It is not funny or cool when you are nervous.
Anyway, I got chocolates, flowers and gifts. It was awesome and sad. I will miss it despite everything. We went through so many things together in this office, whether it's fights, weird/troubled clients, weird cases...etc. It's been 19 months together.
My boss (and some others too) had watery eyes saying goodbye to me. He said I am always welcomed back and the door is always opened to me whenever I want. (: He left the office before me so he won't see me leaving with all my stuff.
On a side note, I am an emotional person. Being put in situations as described above would make me cry my eyes out. But I didn't shed not even a tear. I am really going to miss everybody, the office and everything. It is not going to be the same. But I was also really happy to leave. I have exams and not enough time to study. I wanted to take some time off to sit at home and study quietly. I will have a week at home before starting my new job. So probably that feeling of getting this time off overcame the sad feeling of leaving.
I probably won't see those people ever again! I am going to a different city as well! But it is exciting for me and I was really looking forward to it as I described in my previous post about it.
