The relocation of my office started today on 3rd April' 2009, officially ended my 2.75 years in this old office premises. It wasn't exactly the most fantastic kind of office you would love to have, but it was strategically situated in the bustling city, where there are plenty of sources for food and retail therapy.
I remembered how i used to hate this place. Back then in Year 2005, i was transiting between 2 offices every quarterly. Then in Year 2006, my present boss decided to permanently place me in this "loathsome" place, which was actually a good move for me too, as i was dying for a fresh start.
Now that we're shifting back to the Headquarters, which we only managed to hatch this plan after more than a year, I'm not sure if i really will like this new environment. I hate crowds! Sharing floor area with another department, sharing lifts with the rest of the building, and the thought of the lunch time crowd is enough to scare the hell out of me.
Yes, I'm Enochlophobia (fear of crowds), Claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), Nyctophobia (fear of darkness), and also Acrophobia (fear of heights). Once inside a lift, i will experience breathlessness, dizziness, feeling sick, heart palpitations, or an anxiety attack, varies according to the length of the ride. I shudder at the very thought of a lift breakdown *shrill scream*
All right, let's not go any further with my endless list of phobia(s). Anyway, i kept having funny thoughts crossing my mind today, such as "this is the last time i will take this escalator to work", "this is the last time i will cross this bridge back to office"... I'm thankful that i didn't get too emotional when i was leaving the office. Or rather, i was too busy taking tab of my belongings, that i forgot to bade a proper farewell . Come to think of it, i didn't even take one last look! *sObz sObz*
That was the place where i battled ferociously till late at night (alone, or with my ally), a place that i yearned to go back when i was away, a place that marked my victorious moments, and my upsetting downfalls, a place that witnessed my happiness and my sadness. Sayonara to those paths that bore my footprints, Bye to all whom we met in the corridors but never share a word *wave*
It is good to be refreshed sometime although your work remains the same but you may meet new faces, taste different flavor of food. (I know some good choice around that area)
ReplyDeleteThere is a Chinese temple right behind your new office. I can sense its peacefulness through a nearby restaurant windows. May be you can pay them a visit and give you support when indeed :)
