bye bye, sir

my boss' resignment becomes effective today. when he told me last month about his resignation for a better job opprtunity, i accepted it with a silent sadness. the thought of his diminishing days of stay in the office was breaking my heart. finally, sir's last day as a counsel for a government agency arrived.

later, sir will be reporting to a new office- surely very unlike the unsophisticated workplace he left. sir will still be performing his usual stuff as a trial lawyer, more or less, with better compensation. later, i will go to work and sir won't be in his table as usual. only this time, it's not because i arrive earlier or he appears in a court hearing somewhere. sir simply won't be expected to be there anymore.

sir was basically the only boss i ever had, as i am in my first job for more than 3 years now. sir had been an ideal one of a kind employee of our agency and boss to me that i considered myself lucky to be assigned to him. sir not only works honestly, he has passion for his work. i fear that i may never have or find a boss who is half as good. those who know us have observed that sir and i have an effective tandem.

i will definitely miss him very badly. i don't know how i will get through my day later, or all the coming workdays with this great change. i shall eventually get used to the adjustments in the office. and i hope to have a good relationship with whoever i will get my instructions from.

i learned so many good things from sir. he has inspired me with his passion and endearing character. he is out of my worklife now, but he will be one of the top unforgettable persons i value in my life.
