Bye Bye Arpu+

Today was my last day at my first ever job at Arpu+ Telecommunications Services. Its such a weird and frightening feeling to leave a job, especially your first one. You get used to the daily routine, you know the people well...its just too comfortable to make a drastic change like the one I did! I hear it gets easier after leaving your first job. We'll see how true that is with time I guess. I'm thankful that my first job was such a nice experience...I had great people to work with, bosses who cared a whole lot about my learning curve, the office was close by my place, the company name is big making the experience good for my CV, plus I could leave at 5:30pm sharp which allowed me to maintain a social life plus spend more time in AIESEC. So I cant complain...will really miss it. I just needed to start moving in the right direction with my career, so I had to take the hard decision and just follow through with it. This job was very convenient but not what I want in the long run. Today was just very touching because the people were genuinely upset that I was leaving...and it got me a little emotional. Its nice to feel like you are leaving a nice footprint behind, that people will remember you fondly...I even had clients call me saying it was a pleasure to work with me. It was just sweet...

    I always associate you with ARPU and even though I never dealt with you in anything regarding work, but you crossed my mind everytime the name ARPU got mentioned.

    I wish you the best of luck in your next job and I still hope that it will be near your house and also hope that you get to leave everyday by 5:30 pm to join your group. :)

    I am glad seeing another 'Alsson' blogger in here; and be sure that I will go through your blog whenever I get the time since I dont find time to post anything new lately and it is something very sad, I so miss my blog!

    Hope you had a great New Year's in Dahab. I spent it in Dubai (they call it the City of Gold) ;) but still it would have been great bumping into you. I've never been to Dahab btw, but what I hear makes me intrigued to go one time.
