I am Turning Two...

I am turning two years old in Lotus tomorrow and I'm not sure what to feel. There were still a lot of people when I started there, a lot of Indians and engineers but now, people are leaving left and right. Too bad that they're mostly my friends/hang out buddies. I can't help not to feel sad to see this company go like this. I should have listened to my friends when they told me to detach myself from coworkers and treat work as work so that I won't feel affected when people leave and when things go wrong. But what can I do, my work eventually becomes my life and it still is now. What do you expect when you spend even more than 40 hours of your week with these people? It's hard not to build personal connections with them especially for a person like me who got here almost three years ago all by myself.

Oh well, too bad for me coz I also fell for a coworker who left the company last week. What's funny is that he has been complaining about the company even before we started dating and yet he said goodbye to me or "us" first before he could say goodbye to Lotus. Maybe I shouldn't compare myself to Lotus because money is so much different with love. I shouldn't complain too coz as my friend said, when things were going great and you were happy, working together was an advantage coz you got to spend more time together and to see each other even when work was hectic.

Looking back, things have changed a lot as how I started but definitely, I have learned a lot in my line of work, I have gained the respect and trust that I need at work and I also learned some in another aspect of my life. I just hope that things get better and eventually these new businesses will prosper. People may come and go but there are some who will never be forgotten and who will leave a mark in our lives. Oh, one thing similar about my current situation and two years ago is that I'm mending a broken heart... and just like the last time, it will eventually heal at the right time. :)
