Thanks for all the fish January 13, 2006
Yvette & I went to lunch with Robert (aka my favourite colleague) at Taxi today as it’s his last day at the monolith. I can name Yvette & Robert now because they are almost no longer employees of the monolith. Yvette finishes up on Tuesday and Rob finishes in early Feb, but will be on leave from today.
Firstly, the lunch was splendid. Highly recommended in the fine dining stakes. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a swish restaurant (having trouble remembering ‘ever’ being to a swish restaurant, so it must have quite a while) and it was a lovely, lovely experience.
Secondly, it was lovely to sit with 2 people I’ve worked with for most of the last 5 years and talk about all sorts of stuff. It’s people like Robert & Yvette that I will miss when I make my exit. I won’t miss the monolith itself at all (well … maybe some of the perks …), and there are few of the people I will really miss. These two are at the top of the list.
We were joking about farewell emails - there’s been a few going around lately. Robert reckons his will just say ‘thanks for all the fish’. I really hope it does.
Just as long as the answer is 42.
mm yes fine dining. Transport downstairs does good pub meals too.
The people are what make a project for me.
