Today is the saddest day of my life in this company! At 4.30pm sharp we were called in for a mtg and we were told of the shocking news! My colleague of 3 yrs tendered her resignation n her last day wld be on the 14th of July! I know she will leave us one day but I didn't expect it to be dat soon n she didn't even give me a 'warning'. I know it's coming when she took quite a number of leave n urgent leave but I didn't expect her not to warn me in advance. I was badly affected and my tears just kept rolling...there's no way of controlling it! Everyone tried very hard to stop their tears but I just gave up. Even my manager's eyes were red n filled with tears. She was so apologetic to me for not informing me first but I understand her position. "It ok Shan, I'm not angry at you. I'm just sad dat the time has come!" If I'm in her shoe, I won't even know how to break it to my manager. And to make it worse, she's someone close to me (and I mean real close).
Before we leave the room, we decide to get her a 'good' gift and a good farewell lunch. I'm still thinking of what to get for her. Thought of getting her something on top of the shared gift. It's definitely gonna cost me a BOMB but it's worth for a friend like her.I don't need anything expensive though as friendship can never be bought with $$. So if you guys have any idea, do tag me ya. I definitely do need help.
Guess I better get back to my dearie's arm for some warmth n comfort.
To Shan: All the best Gal! I'll miss you badly...*hugz*
