Tracking my ascent out of madness, one post at a time

Saturday, May 04, 2002

I sit here, pondering the events of the day. Today was my last day of work at a job I will miss dearly, mostly for the people I worked with- some of the most talented people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. All of those that left today will move on to bigger, better, and brighter things without a doubt, as the skills, tools, and talent are there for all of us to succeed. I mourn the fact that we all won't be doing that together, but such is life. The "hey you all got laid off because the job moved to PA" party afterwards was great to unwind from the stress of the AM paperwork festival of stupidity (they misspelled my name wrong on the severance paperwork... who knows, maybe the "Brain" guy will get laid off and Brian aka me will still get paychecks? Much hard liquor, beer, and Corona was to be had, along with good times and good eats. Nice way to say goodbye to people who had been essentially your work "family" for two years. Cinco de Mayo is Sunday. Went to Margaritas with a young lady who I treasure more than life itself (but who will remain nameless so I don't get my ass kicked) and sort of ran into the celebration, which started tonight there. Got out of there with a bitchin' sombrero plus a lead on a new job from our waiter Bill. If you are in NH and happen to get up near Nashua, head to Margaritas and with any luck you'll get Bill- great guy, great waiter, wonderful stories to tell. Listen to him when he says "try the _________"... this man knows what he is talking about! At any rate, a good finish to what could have been a lousy day- probably had a great deal to do with the company I was with. If you should read this honey, thank you again for this evening. The times we spend together are too far apart and too infrequent in my eyes, but I treasure every one dearly. I don't care what we do or where we go as long as I get to spend time with you. I love you now and always, more than words could possibly describe. You are the most incredible and special individual who has ever walked into my life- please never forget that. Never doubt for even the briefest moment of the day that you are loved by someone.
