last day

I'm officially unemployed! Today is my last day at work and I just ended 8 1/2 years with Accenture. To be honest, I wasn't really that sad to leave. I guess knowing that my close friends are also leaving kinda helped. Of course, there are still some people who I'll miss and all those years of memories will not be forgotten - just as there are those who I don't wanna see again and things that I don't want to do anymore. As what I told Lec a few days ago, with him not around and with my friends leaving as well, there's nothing keeping me to stay anymore.

I talked to our senior exec before leaving earlier (she was really the only one I wanted to personally say goodbye to) and we sort of reminisced our early beginnings and I have to admit, that made me a bit sad. But I'm glad that she understood and she supported my decision. And as what she said, now's the perfect time for me to take a break and decide what I really want to do. I don't want to burn any bridges and I'm glad that the most important one is still very much intact.

The reality of what I just did is now sinking in and I feel good about my decision. I'm now ready to move on and start anew. But in the meantime, I'll enjoy the next few weeks of being a bum and doing absolutely nothing! Hahaha. Well, not really nothing but I'll be keeping myself busy with non-stressful stuff for the next days (read: sleeping, reading, shopping, watching DVDs, baking, catching up with friends)...all those things that I failed to do when I was still so busy with work. After 8 1/2 years, I'm finally getting a real summer vacation :)
