Goodbye... Good evening and Goodnight

21 July 2002 Sunday 12:55pm Sydney (gmt+10)

It's my last day at work. The funny thing is that I've worked in places where I absolutely hated the people I work with and the place itself and yet I hung around. Here, I love everybody that I work with, I love what I'm doing... but I have to walk away from it all... at least for the moment. It's a bit sad.

But I was feeling kind'a surreal yesterday... because it was my last day at work. I was busy... but I was looking at things twice, to sort of soak up the whole experience. And I just took lots of pictures of everybody (Karl, Stacey, Mal and Darren.) regardless of how busy I was. Then I gave Mal some of my tools and a knife... it's always been tradition with the other chefs that I worked with to give something to an apprentice, to sort of symbolize the passing of knowledge, well something like that. A lot of my knives came from people who trained me and I want to do the same for Mal because I know someday he'll make it big.

Stacey gave me a farewell card with everybody's wishes. It's design is funny... She said I'm the big dog and she's the little puppy. It was really nice of her. :) By 10:45pm... after we cleaned the kitchen and just before we went downstairs for a few drinks I had one last good look at everything. Then I bid everybody farewell... I turned around and walked out of that kitchen...
perhaps for the last time.
