Friend or colleague??

Today we had a sumptuous dinner at work today to bid farewell to our dear colleague, Ed. Tomorrow will be his last day and we are planning to go down to Barden Barden at Holland V for some nice beer and pork knuckle. I always love Barden Barden, a nice restuarant cum pub. They serve nice food and German beer. The only minus point about it is you are only allow to smoke after 9.30pm which is fine for me too as it sounds reasonable for dinner stop at 9.30pm.

Erdinger dark has become my favourite beer and they serve in draft which makes it perfect. You can taste the sweetness in it and it not gassy thought the foam is thick. 0.5 litre is defintely not enough for anyone who enjoy beer that makes it wonderful to be there during happy hours. I can't wait to down 2 litres of it.

Okay back to the main topic, Ed is really a nice guy, so nice that I am worried for his survival outside the company. He has very good temper and very helpful. He will not hesitate to share with you his knowledge and never harbour any ill intention towards anyone. When I first joined this company, he taught me alot and guided me through my presentations. At a workplace, you have lots of colleagues and unavoidable...enemy but only few you call friend. He is one of the few good man I would defintely regards as my friend. Alot of my seniors had left over the months and he is the last left standing till today. As of tomorrow, I will be fighting the war alone. The worst position in all trades is to be caught between the worker and the boss. Its hard to keep a balance at times answering to the boss's deadline and pushing your group members. If you do it yourself, you have poor people management and the boss would ask why should he promote you if you still have to do it. If you can't produce the result on time, you have poor time management and again the boss would ask why should he put so many people under you if you can plan and distribute the workload.

Anyway there's still beer in this world so why should I be troubled by all these. Just enjoy the beer while I can still afford the time. Life is all about being sober and drunk. There is never a clear line in between. At times, the more you drink, the more clear your mind is.
