A lovely Ausstand

farewell from my colleagues

Today I gave my customary “Ausstand” at work. A formal party to remember your time at an employer and meet up with fellow and cherished colleagues one last time. I chose German style bakery goodness as the morsel of choice. The shop woman asked me if I had my car close by … hmm … what car?

Somehow, with hurting arms and sweating I managed to get everything where it needed to be.
It was a really nice morning. A lot of people came – once again I realised  (the first time was after sending the invitation) how many people I met  during my seven years at Infraserv. More importantly, how many of them were/are nice, warm, friendly people who I am going to miss for quite a while.

My co-workers gave me a bouquet, with some very special buds in it – some that will definitely blossom to nice “flowers” in our new home. What a surprise, I was absolutely stunned by their warmth. Not only due to the nice presents, it was a touching party for me. Quite emotional too, more so than I would ever have expected.

Hereby, a biiiiig thank you to all my co-workers, supervisors and friends at Infraserv and Provadis!
