Tuesday will be my last day working for IBM after just over 33 years. I hate saying goodbye to people, especially the ones that I like, but that's what I'm going to be doing for most of the day on Monday and Tuesday and I'm feeling very nervous and, if I'm honest, sad about it.
The trouble with saying goodbye is that it feels so final and while it's inevitable that most of the people I know at IBM I will never see again there are, of course, many that I will see again and possibly quite often. But the real problem is that I know it will never be the same. I will never see all those people together in the same environment and under the same circumstances that I have done up until now. We won't laugh and joke about the same things. We might even feel slightly awkward in each others company as the situation will be completely different. It will simply be different.
IBM has been a massive part of my life. It's enabled me to do some amazing things, go to some fantastic places, and meet a lot of really nice people many who have become my very best friends.
Tuesday will be tough day for sure, but Wednesday will be the first day of my new life and I am really looking forward to that.
