Yesterday was my last day working for Groove/Microsoft. Having known for a long time this day would come, I would have thought myself to be more emotionally prepared.
The final moments of leaving the building hit me really hard, and I had to fight back the tears. Staring at my empty office, walking the halls for the last time, leaving the building… I’ve ended an amazing era in my life.
Friends at Groove/Microsoft, especially those who go back to the Groove startup days, feel more like “extended family” than just friends. We’ve worked together, played together, dined together for years. We’ve grown and our lives have evolved together, as 10 years time will do to people.
There’s many people for who I will greatly miss the day-to-day interactions. I hope our paths cross again soon.
