Parting is such sweet sorrow

Former Telltale Staff
WHAT?! You're LEAVING?!
Sadly yes, I'm afraid. Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly want to leave; however, current marketplace realities and the need for me to return to the Great White North to complete my computer science degree force me otherwise. That's just the way life goes.[readmore]
Today, dear blog readers, is my last day as the Telltale intern extraordinaire. That's right, seven short months ago, I was but a kid with a dream, wandering into this office with the stained aquamarine carpet for the very first time, the office that would soon become my temporary home. I remember meeting and shaking hands with people whose names I'd only previously seen in pleasantly understated credit sequences. It was a surreal thing to witness – much like internet dating, only perhaps with more of a professional air to it.
And in those months, when I wasn't being shuttled between CSI, Sam & Max, and the Bone Director's Cuts tightening up the graphics, writing code, and making repeated suggestions for interactive musical numbers, I found some time to befriend these wonderful folks we call the Telltale staff. They're a really special bunch, these guys and gals, and I, for one, am glad I had a chance to work with such talented, funny people. It's certainly an experience I'm going to treasure for the rest of... oh look, I think there's something in my eye. Excuse me.
Awkward silence punctuated by sniffling ensues for a little while.
Erm, sorry, where was I? Oh yes. I suppose this is goodbye, though hopefully not forever. If you'd like to keep in touch and see what I'm up to post-Telltale internship, you can do worse than visit my humble internet home at Deirdra Kiai Productions. And with that, dear Telltale blog, I bid you adieu, complete with pirouettes, jazz hands, and more poetic flourish than you can shake a midsummer night's dream at. Ta-ta!
