It’s finally done
October 16, 2007
Today was my final day at Nova.
The bunny that fucked us all over
I decided yesterday that it was finally time to end this chapter of my life. Today I submitted my notice, had my holidays arranged, and said my goodbyes.
As expected, the amount of sick calls skyrocketed this week and today I essentially had a full schedule of lessons. It has truly been a long time since my last full-lesson day. I enjoyed each lesson and had good chats with some of them. During the whole time I couldn’t help but run through all five years and think about all the people I had met and interacted with.
I am very fortunate to be able to walk away from MM with only positive memories. Although I’ve seen my share of crap there, I have let it go and will truly remember my experience as one of learning and cooperation between people from so many walks of life.
I said goodbyes and thank yous to many today but my favorite was LS superstar Yumi. She was so shocked by the sudden news that she started crying a little! I didn’t know how to respond. I was touched that someone would have such an emotional response to my leaving.
I have no idea what the next few months will hold but I am very happy about starting a new chapter. My time at Nova has been wonderful and I sincerely hope that all instructors and staff will be able to come out of this with an experience as positive as mine.

Good luck to you Jerry. I know we didn’t get to know each other well but you always dealt fairly with me and I hope you find something else soon. Go easy.

Dave you have always been cool – you kept out of trouble, never acted out of line. Had you been a bit more vocal you would’ve gone far at the place. I’ll remember that Toppatsu observation best (I think I was daydreaming the whole time). Thanks for everything buddy.

HFK Voice (maybe the same): It has been great working with you and all of our friends at MM. See you soon Jerry and good luck to everyone else.
