I suddenly understood the kind of feeling of getting out of a 'bad marriage'!

Due to the reshuffling of departments in my company, one particular department is shifting out of our care and moving off to report to someone else.
Once I heard this news, immediately I have the feeling of euphoria like as if I suddenly got myself out of a 'bad marriage'! Immediately, the image of all the things/pain that I won't have to face anymore came rushing into my brain and that really felt great! You see, that department in particular was quite isolated from the other departments. The entire department was in HK and basically due to the product which they are managing being very specialized, they virtually could just run their very own government there and no one would have any say to how they run their business. So whenever we need to get any stuff/info from them, especially during our quarterly testing, they would always be the last to provide their test results and not to mention the pain and headache they gave me when it came to the annual certification exercise which I am in charge of doing. So that was really one load off my mind. And I actually spend the rest of the afternoon, after hearing this news, trying to come out with the list of things that belong to them which are to be fully handed over. It's like trying to calculate how much assets you have and giving over what belongs to them. Much like how a divorce is in settling the money and settlements of property. And the relief was just so great! =D
Well, I won't say that I would miss the people there: I haven't really worked with most of them anyway, but the relief from them breaking off from us just totally outweighs everything else!
