Office for Granted

My previous blog, eons??  before talks about time.  The time in between went swiftly without notice.  March 31, 2013 -   I have to bid farewell to my office on superannuation.  Nearly 37 years.  The journey had tumultuous periods inter-spread with joy, disappointments and frustrations.  On the brink, I recongnise the job gave me, without my request, the social ineraction that sustains human spirit.  Friends, sworn rivals, janus faced friends, proverbial exploitative bosses - all these entertained me on all working days, live.  Bereft of these, I have some apprehension in travelling further.  I had taken all these friends and foes for granted, never  realising the temporal nature of the relationship.  God willing, it is time for seeking new co-passengers for the journey ahead.  Now I will be holding new friends and foes in the right perspective.
