Prologue & Epilogue

..Frantic heartbeat. ..Excessively heavy breathing. ..Much thoughts of contemplation.

"Take a deep breathe."

..I murmured to myself.

It doesn't help with the situation at all with the fact that the Senior Manager and Corporate Manager came all the way down from Singapore and alongside with them, they did not hesitate to bring his entire family down.

"Gulp."

I walked steadily towards my Country Manager and requested to speak with him in private. In a shaky voice I told him that I have intentions of resigning and slowly my hand reached for my briefcase and took out my resignation letter. I let a sigh of relief also with a heavy heart, my tenure with this company will soon be over.

Finally,

I'm leaving this exhaustingly dreadful company for good but, why is that somehow I'm feeling like as though I don't entirely want to leave and as I looked back in retrospect, I realized how this such a short period seemed like an eternity.

I remember anticipating to be hired for this job, I remember that during one fine evening when I was sound asleep and jobless my friend called me in the middle of the afternoon and asked me to go for the interview with this company and meet the manager. Reluctantly (Well, mainly because I still felt like as though I was dead asleep.) I dragged semi conscious body to the company's office and headed for the interview.

Oh, I remember how shitty everything looked. The office was nothing but a few tables, a few chairs and a few laptops. Not to say that there's been a hell lot of changes but, there is no doubt many progression in the development and not to mention how shitty the website looked compared to the very professional layout they have now. Heck, it can even give you the impression that its an established international company (Technically, Singapore & Malaysia still considers as international *cough*)


Oh jolly! I sure did enjoy my work back then. We were all friends, the part-timers and me. I felt like as though I was really helping people by selling this product and genuinely back then I was selling in good faith. I never once misled any of my customers, because everything I said was towards my best knowledge.

Slowly, as I learnt more and more facts about the company and product I felt bad about saying things that I did. I felt as though I betrayed trusts of many and naturally, my sales did deteriorate. It did not feel right, not that I'm of such a high moral value its just that the price given was not enough for me to bend my principles. Everyone has a price, so do I. Mine's just abit higher.

..Today is the final day.

As paced my footsteps slowly into office, I looked around and it never stroke to me how much has actually really changed. The store which was so full that there was barely any walking space is now a space big enough to hold a breakdance competition in there. I still remember how I used to fall asleep in the storeroom while quality checking each and every piece of those god forsaken devices and how this office only used to have two people in it.To think I was a part of all this somehow made it even harder for me to leave.


Then, I walked to the office space and realized the laptop that's usually on my seat is now packed neatly by the cabinet. I walked towards the other computer switched it on and sat down for the last time. As i sat the Admin Executive approached me and said

"I heard you're leaving the company. Oh well all the best in the future."

"Yeah, thanks."

5 minutes to leaving the office..

And as I sat down thinking about what I'm leaving behind the clock hits 6 without me even realizing it. I walked out slowly and shut the office door for one last time and I felt a rush of relief and as every corny epilogue goes, thus ends a chapter of my life and one shall begin anew.

ANYHOWS, now that I'm jobless and incredibly free who's up for a drink?
