In July of last year I was leant out to a different team. I was supposed to there for three months. Then that was extended to 6 months. Then 9 months. And I finally actually left them on Friday.
At 3:30 I caught the manager out of the corner out of my eye. Turning on my chair to see what she wanted I noticed the rest of the team standing behind her in a semicircle. All 20-odd of them. At which point I blushed heavily.
When she told me they'd really appreciated having me there and handed me a card and a leaving present my whole body blushed. Literally - I felt my entire body glow and I'm sure I brokle into a sweat. I panicked slightly, said something utterly unmemorable that completely failed to express the fact that I was extremely happy to have worked with them for 9 months (well, for the most part) and felt horribly awkward and embarassed.
And then I spent the following 5 hours with a huge grin on my face.
I'm off to California in 10 hours. When I get back I'm returning to my 'real team'. I'm sorry to be leaving my current team, but I've learned a lot, and hopefully things will go well on my return. I'm even looking forward to it a bit.
