I wrote this to my coworkers today:
I wanted to leave you all with this quote, which I feel touched me, and I hope will somehow leave an impact on all of you. I know a few of us are leaving, and I couldn't have said it better than this:
"The people you work with are just people you were thrown together with.
Y'know, you don't know them, it wasn't your choice. And yet you spend more time with
them than you do your friends or your family.
But probably all you've got in common is the fact that you walk round on the same bit of
carpet for eight hours a day. And so, obviously, when someone comes in who you have a
connection with - yeah, and _______ was a ray of sunshine in my life - it can mean a lot.
(insert name here)
But if I'm really being honest, I never really thought it would have a happy ending. I don't
know what a happy ending is. Life isn't about endings, is it? It's a series of moments. And
um, if you turn the camera off, it's not an ending is it? I'm still here. My life is not over.
Come back here in ten years. See how I'm doing then. 'Cause I could be married with
children, you don't know. Life just goes on.:"
- Tim Canterbury: The Office
All our hours together aren't just a paycheck, but are an allocation of our lives here in this world which I don't think any of even think to take a moment to appreciate. I will miss you Christopher (Elston), Chris (Richardson), Geo, and any of you who choose to leave this place at some point. If anything, let's not forget each other. Good luck in the future, and I love you all.
Sincerely,
Michelle
