Hop Hop Hop
*This was written on 9th July*“I’ve resigned,” these two words came from him today. How I wished that was just a joke to kill time. After lunch, this colleague of mine came to my desk and secretly told me about his resignation. I was dumbfounded. He made me promised not to tell anyone, and that includes my friend, ay. He said he could trust me of not spreading it in the office, but not ay. Still recovering from the shock, I shot a few why and when-questions to him all at once. He only tendered his letter of resignation last Friday, 6th July’07. Boss’s secretary only saw the email today (9th July’07) and a few aunties were then informed. News spread fast, especially in office. Next month he will be leaving. It’s almost a month from now. A few jobs have been offered to him, he still contemplating though. Telling me that he wanted to have a job that is more geotechnical based, and not structural based. True, I agreed he is more specialized in the geotechnical aspect since he had been under Dr Chew during his phD research study. Oh well well, he’s a good person so far, someone nice to crap with and lunch with. One less person now, and I wonder who’s going to take over his seat. Hmm, one less nice colleague to hang out with during office hour really have an impact on me ya. This is so disappointing. Hopefully we still can remain in contact. Tomorrow will be convocation, gonna take photos with him for sure.
