Had a terrible day at work as two of our best people announced they were leaving on the same day. P is one of the best telecom professionals in the industry and a good friend. B is the best boss I have ever had, most knowledgeable, professional and fun to work with/for. It's then not strange that I spent the whole day with a knot in the stomach. 

We all want bad days to end. After an amotional day at work, went for a run, swim and cycle to calm down. As I got home all I could think about was toasting to their health and celebrate their escape, I mean departure.

Any bad news taste better with a bit of vanilla, dark fruits and good company. Best of luck in your new ventures P and B!
