I was standing beside Mr Chat at the urinal when we started to chat (urine still flowing). Now you know how all those toilet chat came about. I asked him: "Will you miss this place?" Mr Chat: "No of course not..." It was his second last day with the company and he looks happy like a bird set free...
I remember when I came here the first time, my table was dusty, my email was not up, my namecards were not ready. My office common cubicle has 5 people in it. 1 in each corner, Mr Chat, Mr Superman, Ms Fan and me. Mr USA the temp staff sat in the middle table. I treat them like my imaginary team. We were the SPCA, specially protected by my boss.
In my team, Mr Chat is my transport guide, he will always provide me with directions. Mr Superman is my IT helpdesk, he guides me on how to read the system, Mr USA is my editor, he reads my email and edit it before I send it out. As for Ms Fan, I just pretend she is my secretary.
Ms Fan left after 1 month I was here. We took a team photo. It was a happy moment and I happen to be wearing a tie. Ms Fan looks very happy. Mr Chat left 2 months after I was here, this time we didn't took any photos, didn't have any lunch, and I didn't get to tell him to remember to be successful when he goes out. He left just like that...
Going back to the toilet conversation (urine still flowing into the urinal) I said to Mr Chat: "Well... You will miss this place when you leave." After a short silence, I said: "I miss OCBC..."
