More then 8.5 years I did work for the same company, but tomorrow will be my last day there…. From August 1st I will be facing a new challenge as C and VB(A) programmer for a big international company in Hoofddorp (and no, not the company of uncle Bill from America :P).
I am looking forward to this new challenge and yet it is a weird feeling to leave all behind.
I saw good times and bad within this company. I saw many people come and go over the years. I saw the company change for better and worse. But after tomorrow I will leave it all behind and move towards a new future…. lets hope a good one!

Dear, this change will be good for you. I am convinced of that. You needed so much a real new challenge… a real new challenge. Sadly I also think that such a new challenge could not be provided by the company you (still) work for. It will be good for you… and if it is good for you, it will be good for me!!!
And we still have a lot of hotels to try out in Amsterdam 🙂
You really want to try out all hotels in Amsterdam??????????
But I am game!
I agree with Marion. I think this will be good for you… as all those Amsterdam hotels will be good for you (Yes, Mar told me :P).
You two really discus everything, don’t you? 🙂
Yes, we discus really everything!!!
(except the things I know you really consider private :))
Hey Rob,
How was your last day?
Details 😀
It was a good nice last day. All went very smoothly. Only the telephone-box decided somewhere during the morning to act up. Well, “System Administrators Trick One for Emergencies” did work: Reset 😛
Talked a lot with my colleagues. Everywhere positive reactions. Only some are a bit scared for the time the company has to do without system administrator, but I assured them that there was always someone around to help when needed, not within the company, then outside of it.
Did have a good talk with one the owners of the company. Got an envelope with content from him, along with a very nice bouquet of flowers. From my colleges I got a cheque that I can spend at most common Dutch shops.
So yes, I left the old company in a overall good way.
