More “goodbyes” today… and more than once I’ve had to choke back the emotions… silly isn’t it..?
Said “goodbye” to a bunch of trainees / students who I won’t be seeing tomorrow on my last day…
Said “goodbye” to J who gave me some last minute interview tips for this coming Friday…
As I’m struggling to hold back the emotions by saying “goodbye” I’m also having to struggle not to appear too cold or casual about it at the same time… I’m over compensating… it’s a fine balance which is hard to maintain…
Tomorrow’s the big one… heck… it’s hard leaving a job you enjoy… however, knowing that I’ve trained people who can now in in turn train others when they get the opportunity makes up for it…
“Multi-Level” trainer… that’s what I feel like… I train someone and they in turn pass on that knowledge to others and they themselves will realise how much you learn by teaching somehing you’re passionate about…
Teaching and training is like trying to empty this deep well of knowledge and at the same time filling it up over and over again with new techniques… skills… and then just keep passing it on…
I’ve learned so much myself during this job… and the more I’ve learned the more I’ve been able to share…
… hopefully I’ve also managed to pass on some of that excitement, enthusiasm and passion I have for techie and gadgety stuff while keeping it easy and fun to learn…
Who knows…?
So, it’s countdown time now to tomorrow…
I’ll have to say “a few words” during my leaving party tomorrow… that’s going to be really hard…
Maybe on the long drive home I can flick away the odd tear…
According to the weather reports, it’s going to be a warm day tomorrow…
… and the air blower on my car dashboard sometimes makes my eyes water…

Its a real utter shame that something that you enjoy so much gives you so much pain… how one element of your life clashes horribly with another… On one hand you’ve got a house you love and scenery you’ll forever be in awe of and the other you’ve got a marvellous workplace full of awesome people who are just awesome (especially that new Australian guy.. jeez he’s awesome!!) and the two just simply do not meet up… at all… in any shape or form… That there is the shame.. And one of lifes pure mysteries..

How do you make decisions and the like, what comes in place of one thing or another, is a great house really that important if you can’t sustain it, is a good job really that good if you can’t have somewhere to relax??
All big questions…
How do you go about such a huge change?
Leaving all you know behind and ’start’ afresh?
Will you be successful or will you crawl back to where you were 6 months ago and have to start again… with that little ray of hope that made you go in the first place well and truly extinguished….
Truth of the matter is you don’t ever go back.. You can’t ever fail when you make a move this big or this ground shaking.. There is no real failure in this type of venture, while saying ‘measured success’ is a believed to be a cop out.. in reality its not, Happiness isn’t something worth quantifying rather its presence is all that matters in the end.. If you’re happy then everything works….

Regardless of what is said or isn’t said tomorrow.. I tip my hat to you sir….. Both a scholar and a gentleman, genuine breath of fresh air in a somewhat stale cupboard at times..
In the short time I’ve had the pleasure of your company at work I have learnt a great deal about all things work and all things particularly not work… You have opened my eyes and more importantly my mind to a realm of possibilities.. and although there will be limitations to what i want to do in current circumstances, thats not a bad thing (and more importantly there are ways around it…)
Thankyou…
