It is a sad day today.
The day started alright. In fact, I was actually looking forward to this day, being the last day at my current job.
But as the day went on, I became more and more depressed and by the time I finished saying goodbye to all my colleagues and got home, I felt like being suffocated.
I have changed jobs before. In fact, for a certain period of time, I changed 3 jobs in 3 years and every time when I finished my last day, I always felt relived.
Somehow, this time is different. Instead of being glad that the day is finally over, I was quite sad that I will no longer work there.
For an hour and a half, I was having flashbacks - from the moment of being interviewed, to the moment of receiving email confirmation that I was offered the position, from the first day at work to the first Christmas gathering, from the day I first started looking for a new position to the day I handed over my resignation.
I suppose there would be three reasons that I felt this way.
Firstly, as I grow older, I become much more sentimental. I was at my first job for over 4 years, and even though my career started from there and I had a lot of interactions with the client, I was very much looking forward to starting the new job on my final days.
Secondly, except for a few, the people here were genuinely more caring. They often ask about your family, about how was your weekend. Even though you will meet new people at the new place, you will always be emotional when you have to leave the people you know and probably never see them again.
Thirdly, I am making a huge move this time – location-wise. I have been living in Sydney for over 14 years now. Here, I got my degree, the PR, my first job, my CPA and now a registered tax agent. It is like my second hometown. Now I am moving to Brisbane, a city I have only visited three times, an adventure, true, but a lot of adjustments and I will have to start from the beginning all over again – renting a place, getting to know the places and dealing with all the unfamiliarity. I think the sad feeling of leaving Sydney kind of erupted on the final day of work.
It is going to be a sleepless night.
