blue_lotus13My last day was uneventful. I actually did have some work to do, cleaned out my desk and said goodbye to a lot of people. I told the receptionist I was going and she said, "Oh, shit, honey", which made me laugh. I felt really and truly appreciated at this job, and will miss a lot of the people. I organized my own going away party and will be drinking on a patio this evening. One of my coworkers wasn't working today, but came in specifically to say goodbye to me, which was incredibly sweet. My Filipina coworker told me that I should "Have a good life and get married", which is very stereotypically Filipino, and sweet.

Yesterday I drove out to Worsley, to do a story on a historical barn. The barn was built in the 1930s. Some members of the Historical Society were there, as well as the original owner of the barn. The original owner is a man named George. He is still running 40 head of cattle and operates a mixed farm, even though he is 88-years-old. He was in incredibly good shape, and drove me out to the barn. Afterward, he took me to meet his wife, and the three of us went for lunch. They were incredibly nice people, and we sat and chatted about their history, and growing old, and travelling, and all sorts of things. It was a lot of fun.
Later that evening, I biked over to the Vietnamese restaurant. I ended up meeting some people I knew and I got to have dinner with them and their children, which was a lot of fun. That's one of the things that I'm going to really miss about GP. I'm going to miss running into people I know and interacting with them all the time. Still, I feel incredibly positive and happy, and very excited for the future.
