1 year, 10 months, and 21 days ago, I walked in to the Integrum offices for my first day of work. I had no prior professional experience and I was scared out of my mind. I have recently decided to leave Integrum to pursue other opportunities (which I will write about soon), so tomorrow is my last day at Integrum. I thought it appropriate to publicly say goodbye, and more importantly, thanks, to all who influenced my time there.
I was so surprised when I received the email from Jade originally offering me a job. With my lack of experience, I never expected it, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity I was given. To Jade - It was a leap of faith to hire me and believe in me, and I can only hope I've made it a worthwhile choice.
Through all the changes I've seen the company go through, the best part about working at Integrum has always been it's people. I could not have asked for better coworkers - you guys are such intelligent people with incredible ideas and potential to do big things. I owe each and every one of you a huge thank you for making me the software developer I am today, not to mention the person I am today.
I'm not good at goodbyes, but what I'm really trying to say is: Thanks and I <3 you guys. Remember to <3 each other, and I wish the best of luck to all of you. :)

I know I haven't been at Integrum very long Lindsay, but I wanted to say thanks for keeping me on task and imparting of your wisdom to me. I've enjoyed working with you and am totally jealous of your upcoming adventure(s). I hope all goes well for you!

Good luck in New Zealand! You are extremely lucky for taking the initiative to make another leap of faith to a super cool part of the world. I will miss getting mad at you while working at the desk adjacent to yours.

Ooochie it was definitely a worthwhile choice, but don't sell yourself short. The leap of faith is pretty small when you are investing in intelligent, determined, disciplined and well educated people. Have a great time in the land of the kiwi.
