So my supervisor quit today. Apparently she bought a house in some city that's too far away and put in her two weeks notice at the beginning of the year. Shit, I didn't even know about it until today, apparently everyone else did. I'm always in the dark about these things. Our little accounting group of eight people were taken to this fancy restaurant for lunch by the tax director to celebrate my supervisor's time there. The eight of us sat at the table and talked and laughed a bit and ate the overpriced food. Of course, I was pretty much the most silent one. If the other intern wasn't there, it would have been extremely awkward. Sitting there, listening to them talk, and laugh was pretty weird, it almost felt like we're family. Really creepy. Despite being forced into a social situation I was unfamiliar with, I did quite well. I did converse with the other intern a bit and we all left the restaurant afterwards and took a group photo. Weird, really weird, I feel more comfortable with people I work with than with peers in social settings. After we came back from the restaurant, I wrote a goodbye email thanking her for hiring me and such. I'm horrible at saying goodbyes, but it was the least I can do.
I think the employees there are starting to warm up to me. More and more people are starting to recognize me and at least say hello and such. Aside from a few who I have freaked out, interactions with others are getting better.
