Bye bye Amie :(

Today is the last day that Amie will be working with us.  Amie and her boyfriend Ryan are about to embark on their great overseas adventure.  And while the Team here wish her well on her travels, she will be greatly missed.  Amie has always been the life and soul of CTCW, heavily involved in all things, a wonderful friend, a caring person, always there with a smile and a kind word.  Anya summed it all up in her farewell poem:

LETS TAKE A LOOK BACK TO YOUR FIRST WEEK

TO A NICE POLITE GIRL WHO DIDN’T DARE GIVE ANY CHEEK

TO A WELL MANNERED LADY, SHY AND QUIET

WITH LOTS OF PRETTY SHOES AND A REALLY CRAP DIET

TIME TRUDGES ON AND HOW SOME THINGS CHANGE

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ONE VOICE COULD REACH SUCH A RANGE

LOUD AND ANNOYING SOME MIGHT SUGGEST

BUT NOT TO THOSE WHO KNOW YOU THE BEST

ALWAYS PROUD OF YOUR FELLA AND YOUR LIFE TOGETHER

A MORE SUITED COUPLE YOU WONT FIND, EVER

ONE THAT WONT SHUT UP, THE OTHER BARELY A SQUEAK

BUT THERE’S NO CHANCE YOUR KIDS COULD TURN OUT TO BE MEAK

WE WATCHED WHILE YOU STRUGGLED WHEN HE WENT AWAY

FIVE MONTHS COUNTING DOWN, DAY BY DAY

YOU FADED AWAY BEFORE OUR EYES

WHILE WE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR YOUR LOWS TO BECOME HIGHS

AND NOW WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS STAY STRONG

TOGETHER, THE TWO OF YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG

HAVE YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT AN UPCOMING TRIP?

YOU HAVEN’T, THAT’S WEIRD, YOU MUST BE A DRIP

OFF TO THESAVANNAHSHE GOES TO MEET HER FIRST LION

AND TO CAMP ON THE PLAINS BESIDE HER ONE AND ONLY, RYAN

ALL THE ADVENTURE YOU’LL HAVE UNDER A SKY SO BLUE

AND YOU’LL SMILE EVERY DAY LIVING YOUR DREAM COME TRUE

BUT, WATCH OUT FOR THE SPIDERS, THE SNAKES AND THE BUGS

DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS AND BE WARY OF THUGS

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND DON’T TELL ANY LIES

AND FOR GOOD SAKE, KEEP YOUR DAMN FRINGE OUT OF YOUR EYES!

WE’LL MISS YOU SO MUCH, ALTHOUGH, YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS

TEAM 4’S FIRST CSA, WITH YOUR ODD SENSE OF CLASS

IT WONT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU RIGHT HERE

TO PISS ME OFF WITH YOUR CONSTANT VERBAL DIARRHOEA!

IF WE’RE WORKING HARD ON THE JOB BEFORE US

WHO’S GONNA SHOUT “BOB SAGGET, NIBBLETS, OR MUNUS”

MAKING US LOSE OUR FOCUS AND RHYTHM

TRUELY, YOU HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A PROBLEM

COME TO THINK OF IT, I WONT MISS YOU AT ALL

IN FACT, HOW CAN YOU HAVE THE GALL

TO LEAVE ME BEHIND AND RUN OFF TO MYFAVOURITE PLACE

WAIVING YOUR PASSPORT AND ITINERARY IN MY FACE

GOOD RIDDANCE I SAY, DON’T BOTHER TO WRITE!

DON’T SEND ANYTHING I’LL JUST BURN IT, ALRIGHT!

AND I WONT REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WE SHARED

OR HOW, TOWARDS ME, YOU WERE NEVER SCARED

I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID BEFORE

OF COURSE I WILL MISS YOU, I’M JUST BEING SORE

TO HAVE TO TRAIN SOMEONE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE

WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT COULD NEVER BE THE CASE

I JUST HOPE THAT YOU WILL MISS US WHEN YOUR GONE

AND YOU’LL STICK TO YOUR PLAN AND WONT BE GONE TOO LONG

AND IF THERE’S A WEDDING WHILE YOU’RE AWAY

YOU BETTER SEND INVITES, OR THERE’LL BE HELL TO PAY

SO GOODBYE, GOODLUCK, TAKE CARE OVER THERE

WE ALL WISH YOU WELL ON YOUR BIG ADVENTURE

AND I HOPE YOU REMEMBER FONDLY THESE LAST WORDS FROM MY LIPS

AMIE…… YOU KNOW I CAN’T EAT YOUR GHOST CHIPS!!!

Amie – we are all going to miss you here at Campbell Tyson.  Kia Kaha, have a superb trip, and come back to us when you are done!
