a family reunion

The goodbye party knocked me a bit off kilter. I walked into the bar and was surrounded by my ex-co-workers. Yes, I still see some of them from time to time. But at this party were also those that I don’t see—the long-timers who mentored me as well as co-workers who’d quit or were let go.

It was like a big family reunion that makes a person feel happy and sad at the same time. I got the feeling of home, while knowing that home isn’t really there anymore.

That's cool that you got to see everyone again, but that would be a really weird situation. It's true that it's definitely one thing to get together with former coworkers just to hang out and quite another to see everyone at once, including the ones you didn't care for. It's like time displacement--like world's colliding!
