My first Last Day

2nd June was my very first 'Last Day at work'!
It was pretty incredible. Everything seemed so different to me...because i would be seeing it for the last time! When i got onto the bus, I sat down thinking that this is the last time Im going to do this. The bus is extremely special and the thought that this would be the very last time I do this was a downer. I met some very special people on this bus.
Then there was breakfast for the very last time...another extremely significant event in the scheme of things :)
I could go on, but you get the idea...everything about the day was weird because it would be the last time I would do it. Just like that. One day youre doing all these things, routine for the last year and a half and from the next day it ceases to exist except in your thoughts sometimes.
I mailed a lot of people, telling them I'm off and 'keep in touch' and all...people replied too...i felt pretty good that they did :)
During the day many people came over to see me and wish me luck and stuff and people on messenger and mail and everything. It was a real good feeling...that there are these people who are going to miss you - be it for a little while. The guys in the project all came over to my desk and gave me a gift - it was really thoughtful, too, something they knew i would use. And then when I was leaving, I said bye to everyone, everyone stood and waited till I crossed the floor and walked out the door. After that everyone may have gotten back to work, but while I was leaving, they stood and waited till I had gone completely. I have no idea why I liked this so much, but I did. It made me feel very good.
I left on very good terms. Thats why all this was so great. Im very glad things didnt get screwed up. I had a good time at Infosys and I would have been upset if things had gotten sour. I am definitely going to miss the place...at least for a while.
