And so the office closes

The last day of the office came and went. There were no tears from anyone, just promises to keep in touch, and lots of good wishes to those yet to find another job.

In some ways Friday was quite miserable. The removal men came in and started gutting the place before we had left, underlining the sense of loss that I was feeling, but at least just about everyone made it in to say goodbye, so that was good.

Some I guess I'll never see again, as they've moved to new jobs many miles away, others already live too far away for anything other than the most well planned of get togethers. A few will be joining me at the other office, but it won't be the same; the camaraderie, the sense of controlled anarchy, and the laid back non-conformity have all now gone. The thing that it feels most like is my last day at university. I guess its time to grow up.
