I had no idea what Amazon.com was until June 28th 2009, I prepped myself well for the interview, by brushing up on a few known facts about the company. The added bonus was the location - same complex as my gym and 15 minutes from home. It was reason enough for me to take up the job.
For the first one month, i soaked up all the food coupons worth a little more than a grand and the pick up and drop cab rides.
By the second month, i made some friends - friends, who I never really thought I'd get close to.
Today was my last day at Amazon and some of those friends who I thought I would never get close to, became my close confidants and best friends.
I'm sad today - sad about leaving a lovely organization full of beautiful people. I was thrown a fantastic farewell with the works - cake (which ended up more on my face and less inside my tummy), noise, gifts and a fairly huge gathering of boys and girls.
I was overwhelmed with bittersweet feelings, I cried at 4:58 dot, in front of one of my colleagues and walked away slowly, out the doors of a company I can't call mine anymore.
I'll miss you Amazon.com, you will always stay close to my heart.
