So its almost a year.

Its almost a year since I was made redundant.
As I watched the team I had spent so long building up being slowly broken apart it hurt.
There is a bond that develops when you work with people, you get to see all the little things that make them unique.
They become a part of you, making you stronger for the knowledge they can share. Society is like a Ants Nest, one ant is small and weak, but a thousand can do almost anything. (Expect maybe fly to the moon for example but they are Ants after all).
I have watched as the others have joined new places of work, some staying together some starting it alone.
I`m not working yet but I am richer for knowing them, each and every one.
The people that I`ve sacked and the people I have promoted, the people I talked or worked with around the business have all become friends.
I still talk to them, maybe not all but a select group of like minded people.

I watch via facebook their lives unfolding, their problems and fears, their loves and hates.
One big scrapbook of life.

If the Facebook server was found in a million years it would be a rich cultural read for whoever is left to read it.
How Miss A has started her driving tests or How MR B burn his dinner.
Its all there to see, to watch and take in.

So even though the year since the closure has almost passed they are all still with us.
Even those who have passed away stay in our thoughts and make us who we are.

I have to go now, but its been nice talking to you.

I hope you enjoy your day and I hope to see you on Facebook sometime.
