TELUS and Becks

What a strangely touching day. It was my second last day with TELUS before moving on to my new job, and it seemed like everyone came out to say goodbye to me. I felt kind of awkward recieving all this attention, as people poured out encouragements and support. I did NOT expect any of that, and honestly I was just trying to play it low-key. The Creative and Production Services team presented me with a customized card (*very* me) and a framed picture of the team (with some hillarious photoshopped results). They even bought me a cake... which was uncanny I bought THEM a cake. So we had a double cake celebration to send me and Jen (whose last day was today before she went on Mat Leave) off, and I'm totally caked out by the end of the day.

Two others are leaving TELUS at the same time, one of which will be leaving for Australia soon. I met Jody while TELUS went on strike and we were forced to go on the phones to fill in for customer service people. We made a pact that if the strike was to last longer then 3 months, we'd both quit to find oppourtunities elsewhere. Funny how we're both quitting at the same time now, a year and a half after the strike!

To cap off the day, I find out that David Beckham has signed with LA Galaxy. Which is GREAT, since that will mean that I can watch Beckham play for a fraction of the price that would've costed me to watch him play in Europe. I'm liking Toronto FC and the MLS already...
