It's official, I'm unemployed. Went back to my workplace today to say goodby to everyone and see the now empty building. It's sad to see it this way after 9 years being there. Knowing our facility was one of the top performing in the country and it was only closed for financial reasons is little consolation.
We had a catered in lunch and then 20 or so of us went to Wayside for a few drinks. Played a little pool, shot some shuffleboard and downed a few cold ones while we talked about the good times and the bad.
As the party wound down we shook hands, had a few hugs and talked about getting together again. But you know in the back of your head that this will be the last time you will see most of them.
It was a great run, it's time to move on.
