• Entry 267: First Gone

  (Panda’s last day at work. We’re both in front of our laptops on a video conference call. She’s in VA office. I’m in CA office. The following conversation happened over IM.)

  Jimmy: i ain’t gonna cry nooh

   if you’re determined to leave girl
   i will not stand in your waaaay

  Panda: HAHAHAHAHAHAH….. OMG IM DYING

  So Panda is first official person to ever quit on my direct team, since I’ve become a manager. Very sad to see her go, but also very happy for her. I’ve had my share of goodbyes when leaving companies where I absolutely loved the teams I was a part of, and my managers. It feels a little funny to sit on this side of the fence now.
