Couple of days ago, I had a an experience where alcoholics refer to as a "moment of clarity". It hit me like a ton of bricks as I was looking at my bank statement.
I cannot be at my current status with work and start a life of a family man... I must leave....
So my days in Torrance as an employee has finally come to an end. Sitting in this cubicle right now is a strange feeling. Kind of a sad and happy moment. Many things came to my mind as I was sitting across from my boss this morning. Its fitting kind of that it is a raining day.... I love rainy days... I wish it was raining cats and dogs. But I am very excited about coming events. I already have interviews lined up and I really feel great about my opportunities. I was taking care of things today and I saw a picture of all the employees from the past Christmas photos... It brought a smile to my face and kinda made me sad at the same time.
Many memories came rushing back at me as if my glasses fogged up with steam from a hot mug of coffee.
Yesterday, I had a discussion with my boss about l\me leaving. He took me out for lunch.
I am not sure if I already told you, but I really respect and love this man. He has taught me so much about life and how to conduct yourself as a leader and a man of God. His heart and his efforts will never be forgotten by me. As I told him today, I did not want to end our friendship that meant so much to me. He said "We are not just regular friends, but we are brothers in da Lord". I've had bible studies with him for last year and a half...
Don't you wish that you had a relationship like that with your boss? He has been so good to me. I am probably never gonna experience this again and I can only thank God for placing me here with such an awesome boss.
Yeah... All the miserable feelings have left me and now I feel this tranquility in my heart. Did I mention that I was optimistic? Cause I am. I am happy that I am emotionally detaching myself from this place.
Pray for me y'all! I need it. I'm scared and excited at the same time for this coming year. The changes begin today. As I've heard before from somewhere I don't remember, "Today is the first day of rest of my life."
Thank you AHT. Thank you Fou-Sen. I will miss you.(I won't miss the late pay)
