the company i work for was recently swallowed up by the biggest company in our industry, and today was my last day in my old office... this is a good thing, really, because the new office is MUCH closer to my home, and the facilities are much MUCH nicer... but i cant help but feel a little bit sad about the move...

it isnt that i have any real attachment to my old company or office, the truth is i pretty well hate the place (although im beginning to hate my new employer even more)... but ive been making the same drive, eating at the same places, shopping at the same stores, hanging out with the same people for two years now, and it just isnt going to be the same now... the core group of 20 people who managed to kick the crap out of our biggest competitor (our new owner) for years has been assimilated... with the exception of about 6 guys, chances are good i will rarely or never see the other folks ive worked with... ill never moon over the hot chick at the local chinese restaurant over lunch again, marvel at the unfailingly bad service at the don pablos across the street, or see the weird dude working the register at the gas station...

why this bums me out, i couldnt tell you... i guess just because it is familiar, and comfortable... maybe its just because its a reminder of the imperminance of everything, both the good and the bad... or maybe i really am a sentimental fool after all...

naaaah...
