Me, Myself and 2007

2007: Hey there!
Me: Hey…… I heard you’re leaving soon

2007: Yes, I came to say goodbye and have a little talk with you
Me: Sure thing

2007: Do you think I was a good company?
Me: mmmm…I am afraid you were not

2007: How could you say this?……I wasted every single day of mine on you
Me: Okay let me remind you. Remember last February, my sister’s breakup with G. Remember how her heart was broken and how my family had a sad time?

2007: I do remember, but after a couple of weeks you were promoted to a team lead position which was a kind of a cheer up for you and your family
Me: That’s true but then I started facing problems with my team and I really had a hard time

2007: And you were able to solve them and gain everybody’s trust and appreciation
Me: Do you think you got me? I will think of something better. Remember my birthday?

2007 (covering her face): I thought you forgot about it
Me: How could I forget my worst birthday ever? A 50 degrees temperature, a sandy storm and all my friends going to Alex

2007: This was not a big deal I guess; you usually don’t enjoy your birthdays anyway
Me: Okay, okay I still have more against you. Remember when my friend S traveled on business for six weeks and how I felt lonely

2007: But you decided to create your blog in order to compensate for your loneliness
Me: I guess you’re right; I wouldn’t have the guts to create this blog if S hadn’t traveled. I missed my chats with S so much but I also found a relief in my blog

2007: I think you were a bit harsh when you said you did not enjoy my company
Me: No I wasn’t, it seems you have a bad memory. Remember my father’s cataract surgery and how I was so worried about him? Remember aunt’s T death? Does this sound fun to you?

2007: Come on, your father surgery was a simple one and you know how much your aunt suffered as being an Alzheimer patient
Me: I almost forgot this one, remember K?

2007: Jeeez, I thought you’ll never mention this one
Me: I can’t help mentioning it. Do you expect me to forget about the ------- [insert a bad word here] who broke my friend’s heart? How can I forget her grief and misery after she discovered that he had been lying to her for two years? How can I forget my friend’s state of astonishment and the many whys she kept asking herself?

2007: I thought this conversation was about US
Me: It is, don’t you think that I must have affected by my friend’s sadness? Don’t you know how I blamed and I am still blaming myself for all this? Don’t you know how I feel guilty for not warning her about K from the very start? Don’t you know that I blame myself every day on not disclosing my doubts and fears to her months ago?

2007: Well although it has been a bitter experience for your friend I guess she has learnt many lessons. She will never trust anyone with her feelings till she makes sure they deserve such trust. She will not wear her heart on her sleeve anymore
Me: I’m sure she will

2007: Do you have anything else to blame on me?
Me: There’s one more thing but I won’t say it

2007: Well I guess I’m smart enough to guess
Me: I’ve been talking too much about myself for a while now, your turn

2007: A good approach to change the subject, what do you want to know about me?
Me: What are you supposed to do after you leave?

2007: Well I go visit my sisters and my father
Me: I guess I met your older sisters but who’s your father

2007: History
Me: I see, I guess after you leave you start telling him millions of stories

2007: Sort of
Me: Listen, perhaps you were not a bad company after all. I really enjoyed last Thursday with my friends, it was a perfect day. I am also happy I got daddy’s car, I really love this car.

2007: Oh my God, I’m flattered. I guess its time to say goodbye
Me: So soon, we still have one more week

2007: I prefer to do my goodbyes a bit early, need to rest and pack
Me: Okay goodbye, it was a pleasure talking to you. May I ask you a little favor?

2007: Sure thing
Me: would you ask your younger sister aka 2008 to bring an ice breaker with her?

2007(winking): I will…..anything else?
Me: No thanks, goodbye 20072007: Goodbye Sue
