My last day at Critical Mass went by very quickly. I’m writing a stream of events that happened that day, so that when the visual memories flash by in my head like a projector movie I’ll have some semblance of chronological order to them.
Dropping off thank you cards to my closest friends. Feeling like a visitor in my own desk as I had packed my things the day before. Jonathan Arkell’s personal thank you for the card I left. Confimring last-minute lunch reservations for 25. Watching “Superman vs. Carcin-O-John”. Matt Chan bringing me a chinese bun because my stomach was grumbly. Calling shotgun to get a ride from Jeff Bolton, and the hilarity that ensued. Lunch with new team members and departed ones. Being greeted by Ninja and Sprout back at the office. My last Knowledge Management team meeting. Saying hi to Debra and Pickles. Running off to the local wine store for a sample of prosecco. Making rounds of goodbyes. Goodbyes shorter than expected, as people snuck out for the long weekend. One last conversation with Jonathan Arkell about the better things in life.
I left my parting email short and sweet, as goodbye emails from everyone else in the company seem to recall the same best things about the company that I do.
And then it was over.
It's tough to think of a blurb for myself when I'm also on
