Yesterday was my last day at work. I tried not to choke up when I was saying my goodbye speech. I have a lot of love for the guys on my team. We've become really good friends over the past 5 years and I am thankful for you guys - you made working at TC awesome. I walk away with some wicked memories:
- Los Cuatro Fantasticos: el loco coco, el banano borracho, el guapo jugador, latino caliente - Mike, Bobby and Sais - you're like brothers to me
- Mexico
- Rick's jokes - somehow they got more funny the more he told them
- mountain biking
- Brian's faces and mannerisms - "help me to understand..." - there are way too many quirks to list
- the "Bobby Foul Mouth" counter
- Nam's giggles
- dirties
- Juan the virus, Juan no bug me, St Juan the virus
- "Hey Juaaaan...."
- Chris' storming off
- sexy shirt
- Shawn's "To be honest..." along with that face he always makes
- David's overly intelligent jokes which he usually had to explain to us
- Timmies
- Thayne's knee-slapping laugh
- Bokumbob
- the corporate jet and el presidente
- Mike's sense of humor and his humility and his electronic addictions and the fact that we had to coordinate our wardrobes because we shopped at the same store
- our nicknames:bobster the lobster, juanster the monster, saister the molester
- sargaent rancy
- not bloody mikely!
- Bobby's genuine niceness and the fact that he laughed at all of my jokes
- mike's spanish lines: loco fuego en el bano, una botella de vino tinto por favor
- the spanish line I taught Bobby: te ves bella en la luz de la luna - you look beautiful in the moonlight
- the inseperable John and Ken
- Loris and Dong's wedding in Hawaii, Mike taking poor Dong out of commission on his wedding night
- our dinosour names: the duck-billed blubbardpus, the wooly maiermoth, the tearradactyl, the velasquez raptor, the kehoesaurus, the hermo-erectus, the liu-clear winter
- our chinese names: sy ban ya, lay tsee laam
- the many times I argued with the girl at JugoJuice about the price of my juice - and especially the time she handed me an oversized calculator so I could do the math myself
- ....and there's lots more, I just can't remember it all right now!!!!!!
The team had a caricature made for Christine and me - it blows my mind! It's absolutely priceless. Thanks fellas. I mean it. Thanks.
Well, I am officially retired. Dad and I are going to go golfing, but I gotta be back in time to make dinner for Christine. She brings home the bacon.
