The life and times of a moose.

My last day here at my company is March 17th. I have made friends with quite a few people here that I intend to keep in touch with, and others that I say I will and I know we'll go our separate ways. But is it too late to make friends? There's a girl that started a few weeks ago in the inside sales group that works right next to my pod and she came over and said hi yesterday. She saw that we took the same bus and we were laughing about the broken automatic doors in the back and how annoying it was for the bus driver to keep yelling toward the back for someone to pull the emergency switch and close the door. A few times we he had to get up to close it himself. I digress. This girl was nice enough to introduce herself even though she knows I'm leaving (i think). And there have been a few people recently that I've went to lunch with that had been working here for awhile but were on another floor of our company. And now I wish I would have gotten to know them better before they left too. We did exchange numbers - but who knows if we'll keep in touch. One of the girl's from the other floor is currently in India with her boyfriend (for his work) and then they're going back to Russia where she is from to visit her family. The other girl lives in the same burb as my cousin and I intend on calling her if I go out there to hang with my cousin. I guess I'll just see how it goes. I'm not one of those people that asks the typical resume questions when you first start getting to know someone - (Where are you from, how many in your family, where do you go to school, what do you do... I just let those things come out of the conversation naturally. All my friendships have started pretty slowly. I'm shy at first, ya know. I different friend of mine actually laughs when I start to tell her about someone knew I met. She starts asking me all the typical questions about them and I usually have to tell her - i don't know...i didn't ask that! I usually use humor as my defense mechanism first. After you get to know me, people would most likely describe me as goofy, fun, flirty, loud and generally a nice gal. So if I do end up hanging out with someone right before I leave and I see that it's someone that I'd like to get to know better, I guess it's not so bad trying to start a friendship with that person, even though I'm leaving. I just have to train myself to keep in touch better. I don't even talk to people I went to high school with and I didn't really keep in touch with people I had met in college while taking classes. So this time I will try harder - to keep friends and make new ones.
