Last day at Samsung

The end of an era. Yesterday was my last day at Samsung. About 60 of us were being made redundant.

A melancholy day, worthy of ye olde Shakespeare. Friends I won't be seeing as often, establish routines that need to change, and the never ending procession of emails that have halted abruptly. I shall also miss the excellent Korean food in the canteen.

It's true there was some drinking afterwards. Though to be fair it was a Christmas party too. But most people were taking the news well. Quite a few have jobs to go to (a disturbing number will be paid a fortune to live in the south of France, bastards), and the rest are quietly optimistic.

Now I am unemployed. At least until Monday, where hopefully the phoenix will be reborn.

Good luck for Monday. Take one of the knives with you, you'll feel much safer, and the workplace respect hurdle will be overcome so much faster.
