Them who got away

The thing about work is, sometimes you cannot help but get attached. I am talking about people, your work in general or your accounts.

The thing about getting attached to people is, they leave. People you are closest to, whom you have this amazing work chemistry and that you are familiarly fond of leaves at some point. Or you leave them. And when they do, they leave a huge hole that is so hard to fill. If it can at all be filled.


Pao, Jeri, Christine and Edwin 

Today may be the last time I will see Pao and Jeri. Well, more Pao than Jeri because Jeri will just be at Adora Greenbelt. But Pao, he will be leaving the country and will only be back in the next three years.

On Pao's last day, he made me cry. He wrote me this amazingly profound  and heartfelt letter.

Pao was this wonderful person who has been so easy to work with. He was smart, precise, fast and he gets me. He compliments me in ways I never thought possible. One of my best media launches was with him, and we got 137 media attendees!

Out of work, Pao is objective when I cannot be objective. He tells me things upfront, no holds barred. He is loyal and he is a good friend.

Such bond is something I hope I will be able to find soon, with the new set of AEs coming in.
