I cant help but feeling a lil bit sentimental today. And the office too, seems gloomy.
Our Big Boss held a meeting just now to announce that he's leaving and will start at his new office Monday next week. Its very sudden and everyone's shocked. Although now when I think about it, everything (doubts and questions that I had in the past) now just fell into places. He's bringing 3 other very smart+capable people from this dept. It will not be easy there and the risk he's taking is huge.
It has no significant impact on our team. Our boss will still be around. But a few might be seconded elsewhere (but this has nothing to do with big boss leaving)

Its just 22 days into 2010. And already, we've lost 5 ppl.
