I stopped working at SFU about a month and a half ago (technically I am on leave, but I don't plan on going back there) and I've been mulling a few things since I've left. One thing of most notable mention is that not one single person has messaged me--either through facebook, email or phone--asking how I've been doing. Well, technically one person did, but that was after I texted him regarding something else. The thing is, I had worked there for 2 years and unlike most other jobs, I would presume, this one really encouraged communication with one another since the majority of shifts involved people essentially walking together around campus for hours at a stretch. What somewhat baffles me is that inspite of me being extremely awesome and making an interesting moment out of most situations, not one person has really given a rats ass as to what I am doing. Not like I ever expected people to throw me a going-away party (like they did for some of the members), but it would have been nice if they just dropped a line or two my way so that I didn't feel forgotten.

The interesting thing, though, is that I don't have any real regrets--excluding a few insignificant ones--about my time spent there. I had a blast for a good portion of the time I spent working there and I wouldn't change much, to be honest. This leads me to believe that it truly doesn't matter what the end result is. You could be with a group of friends, a significant other, etc.., and never see them again after parting ways--for whatever reason(s)--but that shouldn't negate the time that you spent with them.

It's interesting because it pretty much sums up what I've always believed--nothing lasts forever. Except diamonds, ofcourse. If there's anything those DeBeers commercials have taught me is that diamonds ALWAYS last. No, but seriously, the end result should not impact the past. If you're happily married for ten years and then it all falls apart, those incidents should not impact the past in any way. How can it? Why should it? The same, I would say goes for friendship or any other kind of human bonding experience.

Well that's all I really had to say.
