Usually the end of year process includes 2-3 days of business planning. This year, our team is being integrated into the larger Corporate Training organization, so we did not have to spend the time on this annual rite. However, we also didn't get to have our end-of-year celebration either. As a team we decided to have a dinner at my house and invite a few extras who have joined the team (bonding opportunties) and who have supported the team over the past year. We had cocktails and appetizers before heading down to a movie. Following our film, we headed back to the house for dinner, dessert and a rousing game of bingo. Sadly, I was also aware that a job offer was pending and that this event could be my last with the team. Four days later I got the offer and after many lengthy discussions with Frank, decided that it was an opportunity that was too good to pass and accepted the position. I will miss working with this particular group of people who have been amazing work colleagues but also very close personal friends.
