Honeywell
I'm into my last 5 weeks at Honeywell. I don't think it has struck me yet that afterMay I will no longer be associated to this office. I can't believe I've been here for5 1/2 years. It feels strange. I've never been attached to one place for so long. All my life I've always moved on to something else every 3 to 4 years. Sometimes it wasfrom one city to another and other times from one school or college to the next.
I'm completely surprised I lasted so long at Honeywell. I didn't even expect to get hired.I thought my incompetency would surface soon and I would be asked to leave. But I guessI was wrong. Either I'm a better employee than I think I am or Honeywell does not care aboutthe people it hires. I'm inclined to the former.
Now that I'm leaving on my own accord, I wonder how I will feel on my last day. Being used to moving on, I guess it will be the usual mixed emotions. Both a bit of sadness about leaving a place that has become my second home as well a bit of excitement about the future. I will feel the saddest about not being able to work with a group of people that I absolutely love working with. Now thatI think about it, I stopped working with them more than a year ago when I moved to hyderabad and then Phoenix, so I guess I'm used to it. Maybe there won't be so much sadness after all.
But I have worked with an exceptional group of people primarily at Bangalore and I will miss them. Irrespective of work pressures and deadlines I could always share a good laugh with my colleagues. Be it the nick names like "2 to the power 8 Priya", "Bhai", "Goto Praveen" or "NAG", or the sign language we used, it made the workplace a fun environment. Hmm...I take back what I said earlier. There will be some sadness. I feel a bit of it already.
All in all, it's been a good 5 1/2 years. There are lots of memories I will take with me but most importantlythere are some friendships that I hope will last a life time.
