Hmm...that was somewhat depressing

So today, one of the sports writers, who had worked at the paper for something like 30 years, left. They had a big party, with cake, people telling stories about their interactions with him, and apparently, they're all going to a restaurant later.

I was struck, as it was going on, that they definitely aren't going to do the same thing for me when I leave. Even leaving aside the fact that I haven't worked there very long, no one there really knows me very well. It's mostly my fault--I think my perfect job is one where I don't actually have to interact with anyone, so I don't tal kto the reporters much when I don't have to--but still, it's a little depressing. I'll also have a hard time being noticed for promotion in future jobs if people actually interacting with me bothers me. :p

Oh, and t3chnomag3, I listened to those samples. I was right--I should buy their CD. Here's Within Temptation's MySpace page, if you want a comparison.
