Days turned into months.... and I found myself waiting for you during our break time...or sitting eagerly swapping stories with you during *FACING time in the store. Oh, how we talked and shared parts of ourselves. Past experiences and present...family...love...life and I dunno what else. Hahaha. I said to myself, " Aha...she is indeed a lovely and friendly lady."
Remember when we started our new shift? How I dreaded coming in....not because of the morning schedule but moreso I'd miss our old friends. We had such a GOOD TEAM, you always say. Later on, I realised it was not that bad. Working side-by-side (hahaha, "facing") with a friend makes the job more colourful...enjoyable and FUN! Something that is really important to me...otherwise, work would just be a boring meaningless routine or something I needed 'cause it pays the bills.
I wish you can stay longer. (WAIT! Did I APPROVE YOUR RESIGNATION? I THINK NOT!!! just kidding!) But today is your LAST DAY....I don't know what else to say, but YOU WILL BE INCREDIBLY MISSED...by us, your friends. (You have made loads of them in different departments.) Especially by your partner over here. Who will I turn to during Sundays and there's no other lady fillers around? Who will teach me how to make the yummy coffee and cakes??? N, I am blessed by your warmth and friendship. I thank God for you. (teary-eyed...)
Don't you worry, I'll be fine....It's you I'm worried about, all the cleaning and packing you have to finish. I wish you and your family well, my dear friend. This ISN'T goodbye...even if you told me, you won't go back even for a visit in Palmy. I'll pray that you'll find some reason to come see us. SEE YOU LATER, DEAR! God bless!!! Love, MINDFULL
*FACING TIME - bringing the products forward to make the shelves look good and easy reach for the customers. We spend generally 3-4 hours a day facing depending on how many we are on specific days.
