As it is my last day today and I would like to say thankyou AAP for the last 7 years. For the most part AAP have done the right thing by me including today and overall it has been a pleasure working here.
After reading many of these farewell emails over the years I would like to be a little different and leave a few last words that I live my life by.
Here goes- Don't stress about the small stuff, its all small stuff.
- Always remember that your family and friends are the most important thing in your life
and always, always, always enjoy yourself. If you are not enjoying yourself, stop and ask yourself why and then go about fixing it. Thankyou all RegardsDarryn
