castalieSo. I had a great Monday at work yesterday; it didn't feel like a Monday at all. We started with a staff meeting, which basically means a whole morning spent not doing work but talking about work. Then at 6.00 PM we had a little after-work party in Boss Man's honour because the man is retiring at the end of July - that is, semi-retiring, we'll see him again in September for a little while, but we'll get a new boss - and we had a couple of presents for him, one of them homemade so, instead of doing the work we hadn't done in the morning, we finished our little project. Manual activities for the win \o/ Then it was the party and I had such a great time! Boss Man was really happy and touched and it showed - it made us happy in return :-)
The cocktail lasted till 10.00 PM, I was home at 11.00 PM without a single glance at either LJ or Twitter the whole day. Some of you might guess where I'm going with this is? Man. I had quite a shock when I checked my LJ, I have to say. The whole flist was exploding with the news of Panic splitting up and it felt so unexpected to me that I had to read several entries and twitters to believe it.
At 30, I had a new experience; feeling sad at the thought of a band splitting up. Panic and MyChem are the very first bands in my whole life that I've been so invested in. And I guess I'd put Panic on top because of all the fics I read. It's been the first time in my life I've felt this way towards a band so the whole feeling-sad-because-my-band-is-no-more is brand new. I was like 'wow, that's how it feels?' And it sucks, let me tell you.
I mean, obviously, I'd rather have them split up than keep going and be miserable. As for the friendship thing, well, it's really not my business, though I do hope they'll keep being friends because I don't think anyone can wish differently. And they'll still be doing music, apparently, which is the main thing, but I lost the opportunity to ever see "my" band all together now and it just sucks. Still, I'll keep following those guys anyway and see how it goes - and miss original!Panic *misses*
