“Work is going to be considerably less funny from Monday, and that is the smallest of the reasons I am glad you are going somewhere better. Congratulations. First round is on me, and the group chat continues regardless.”
“For the record, I thought you were difficult for roughly the first month, and I have never been more usefully wrong about anyone. Thank you for the arguments, all of which improved the work, and for the several years of friendship that followed them. The next place has no idea what it is getting.”
“You were the reason a fairly ordinary job was good company for three years. The job ends, the rest of it does not. Congratulations on the new place, and my diary is open.”
“There is a version of this job that was just a job, and I did not have it because you were here. Two years of terrible coffee, honest opinions, and being talked down from at least three emails I should never have sent. The new city gets a good one. Tell me when the spare room is ready.”
“I have thought about what I will actually miss and it is not the big things. It is having someone to eat lunch with who does not want to talk about work, and knowing exactly which face you would pull in a meeting without having to look. Congratulations on getting out. Do not become a stranger about it.”
“Everyone says they will do it eventually and you have actually gone and done it, which is the entire difference. I have watched you talk about this for long enough to know it is not a whim. It will be harder than the version in your head and you will still be glad. Ask me for anything.”
“I am not going to pretend to be purely delighted about this. You are doing the right thing and I would tell you to do it again, and Mondays here are about to get considerably worse. Both of those are true at once. Go and be very good at it, and keep answering your phone.”
