Goodbye Emma and Suli

Tears and Beers 30/7/11 17:32

So the time came for Emma and Suli to leave Dare. Suli managed to coordinate her leaving to match the same day as Emma.

It was hard emotionally. The usual solution and form at these thing is to find beer. We pretty much wrote the whole afternoon off. From 3PF at lunchtime we didn't really get back to the office afterwards.
We did a bit of a pub crawl from the Lukin, via Jetlag (and lots of B52s) to the Ship.

Their leaving meant lots to me because for a long long time we were sitting next to each other in the old office with me in the middle and knowing that they aren't going to be around as much is really odd.

In the ship we carried on drinking and people came and when thru the afternoon. Bui brought some pink champagne at one point and there were shots. It was in the Ship were I sprung a little surprise I had planned. I gave each of them a stained glass star that I had made in evening class which they both loved (and managed to remember to take home with them).

We managed to get them back into the office for their leaving speeches. Which weren't as painful as they thought they were going to be (they had planned on not returning at all). After which the whole company went to the Yorkshire Grey to drink the night away.

It ended after a McChicken sandwich with the remainder of us going our separate teary ways at Warren Street tube.
