Sour Grapes

Everyone has expressed their feelings toward the shutdown of OC, except for me trying to be practical and not cry over spilled milk!
Well, I was the first to accept it, saw it coming and felt internally at peace with the whole idea of someone taking the decision for me to leave, rather than walk away from my comfort zone.  It seems I'm still grieving and I'm suffering the delayed discomforts of what happened almost four months ago.  Everybody had said all the good things about OC, but it still didn't make me feel any better, it rather made things worse!  So I'm going to try to find everything negative about it maybe it could help me reach closure on the subject.
So I should officially hate OC, here's why:

  • For being too good to be true and not lasting long enough, you really have spoiled every single opportunity for me to like any other workspace!
  • For being my very comfortable second home, a person should only have ONE!
  • For converting me to sympathize with socialists, when I was fanatically conservative!
  • For being so close to my house, now I feel everywhere else is a headache to reach, even if it's within the same neighborhood!
  • For teaching me to like Cheikh Imame, I blame you for eternity.
  • For making me meet the craziest bunch of friends, whom I can barely live without seeing everyday, for God's sake, we are all dispersed about greater Cairo, it's a pain to meet and even more pain not to!
  • For sneaking in the idea of open source and free software, now I can't stand MS products nor am I tolerant with their bugs anymore!
  • For crawling under my skin without me noticing, now everybody is thinking I'm crazy for not letting you go!
  • For not being fulfilling financially, but perfectly fulfilling on every other level, I was practically a slave and perfectly happy to be one!
  • For being on the 11th floor, that didn't help at all when the elevators broke!
  • For giving me the best in life, and the best surprises I had ever gotten; I feel I peaked too early!
For that I should forever hate you, and I hate you with all my might because nothing else compares :'(
..I sure hope that would help me get over you!
