It's the last day of work for the year, but not only is today the last day of work for the year..it is also the last day of TSD , Training and Scholarship Dept., as a department, as an office...the TSD has been abolished in the reorganization of 2011..we have become a casualty ....but had to a wait for a few months to be totally wiped out.....I went to Australia last Oct ..expecting that when I come back I will be with the GSIS Museum, but we were given another 2 months, almost, to stay together and wok together, the TSD....
Our project, the last was the GSIS Christmas Activities, and now that Christmas is over, we say goodbye to each other...but wait, thefe was really no goodbyes, we are so busy closing all our transactions, all our tasks to be able to leave TSD and turn over files, documents, pay all the bills of the Christmas party and Outreach that we barely had a time for our Christmas party, in fact we did not have any!!!! We only had a quiet dinner with everybody lost for words or maybe we are in denial, maybe nobody wants to get into it fearing we might get too dramatic and with TSD drama is not soooo natural, we like laughing , laughing out loud and making fun of ourselves!!! and well yes, others! ha ha ha!!!
Today, it seems , that is what we did!!! No drama, no goodbyes!! Most of the TSD personnel were on leave , the few of us who were present were busy with either packing, checking on things we will be leaving behind, doing some more errands,finishing some task and me, I was on my OJT :) with the Museum. Had my taste of museum life with the closing activities of the HR Ocampo Exhibit and the the Jose RIzal Exhibit. Was also able to help out in the Phil-Korea Art Exhibit opening....did not even had the time to say Happy new Year to those who were also in the office..they too were busy...we said goodbye to TSD without saying goodbye to each other...maybe because we are not really saying goodbye ....well , as Fleur said it, maybe this is a blessing in disguise....and i say maybe ....this may just afford us to travel together, a thing we have been wanting to do for the longest time ....we have not been able to do this since we cannot go on prolong leave of absence at the same time...ha ha ha....
maybe we are sad with all the things that had happen...as a department, the TSD has made an impact with the lives of the employees , we had our accomplishments and had our share of failures and not so successful programs but we believe we really did good, maybe better.. and we honestly like working together, laughing together and getting into each other's skin and now there is no TSD, not anymore.... and maybe we just enjoyed torturing each other ha ha ha!!!
My years with TSD has been so full of joy, learning and a few pains here and there but all in all, i will not exchange those years with any thing in the GSIS !
So today each one of us. TSD peeps embarks on a different path, with a different team , today we silently said goodbye to each other and I am sure , each wishing us luck and fun in our new paths..... TO TSD ...Cheers!!!!
