I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult?

last day of work...Algernon




Last day of work. A small group of people with big hearts grew on me amazingly fast; I hate having to leave them. I have stayed in jobs for three, five years and not felt anything upon leaving. But in less than a year, these people have forced me to rethink my attitude toward the world in general...perhaps there are still a few good people out there.
This Friday, everyone signed a "Good Wishes" card; their comments were all so touching. I left them a small painting I made for the office and the boss immediately put it up on the wall.























We picked up Algernon this morning and as soon as she walked in she picked a dark corner where to be left alone. She was under the bed first, then came out and hasn't left this corner since..not even to eat. I don't think "Algie" likes her new home. I hope she adjusts soon.

This is really touching...I'm glad your new friends and your boss didn't see in you a working machine but a person with feelings, heart and a beautiful mind.
Loved to meet Algernon. Hope he will get used to his new home.

Just realized, after re-reading your entry that "Algie" is a emale. I apologize to Algernon and I hope she finds her place.
