Yesterday was my last day at Cingular and it was great. Most people would be freaking out that they are unemployed but this was a textbook ending for me and I couldn’t have scripted it any better. I came in, completed my project in the time allotted (extremely rare in telecom engineering) and left with having made some new friends and rekindling an old friendship. I had a great boss who I don’t think was ever wrong, not even once, good working conditions and a task that was well within my abilities. And about the task, if anything, it was a waste of my talent, but I knew that going in and I had my reasons. And you know what? It worked.

I would have liked to stay (albeit in a different role), but this tidy ending is almost just as good. My one regret is that I didn’t get to know my team as well as I would have liked but I take comfort in the knowledge that we’ll likely work together again someday (this industry is weird like that).

So what’s next for me? Who knows. And I’m totally fine with that. 2007 is going to be an interesting year, that’s for sure.
