Another close colleague has moved on... We went through so much together for the past 5 years. It was a shocking news when he told me he is tendering the letter. I didn't expect it to be so fast. I'll definitely miss him around, dropping by my seat for chats, having tea breaks together, attending courses, brainstorming for ideas, phone calls to update on work matters and most importantly, I'll lose someone whom I can talk heart-to-heart to.
Days in my job pass by so quickly that there is actually no real quality time to cherish and spend with colleagues. Until the day they are leaving, you will start to think back how much you know the person and how much you have done to know you really treasure such a colleague as a friend.
What are the chances of finding a true friend amongst your colleagues? Rare, but I can say I have found at least two.
All the best, my life coach.
