I write this in a post tequila haze, but what the hell. So ends my time at Millward Brown UK. Am I leaving with a gold Rolex and a big pension? Well no, but I do have a bunch of L'Oreal products, some amazing memories and more importantly some amazing friends. It's been a fantastic 3 1/2 years and I will miss it dearly, much more than I'll ever let on in person.

Those who have ever lived long-term in a country other than their own will understand the importance of a stable work environment. Antipodean friends come and go, Visas expire and an overwhelming longing for home prompts early departures. Therefore work, and the people at work, remain your one constant, a refuge of sorts.

It may sound melodramatic, but ultimately it's people's reactions and interactions with you who make you who you are. So to be in an environment of constant change is difficult. How do you establish yourself, who you are and what you stand for? Well, in a few weeks, it will be time to do it all over again. I'm excited about this prospect, to define or perhaps redefine myself, but am pretty anxious at the same time. However, in the end, I know it will be fine...it's more the waiting in between which gets your mind racing.

So, thanks MB'ers for having me and for making my stint in London an absolute awesome experience. I know I'll always look back on these years with great fondness.
