Miss you

Nina, I'm a little late to the party, but wanted say (1) thanks for everything, and there is a _lot_ there to thank you for (2) best of luck with the new job. If there was anyone I would want to be out saving the world, it would be you, but you're sorely missed here in Google towers.

Keep in touch!

Best wishes, Nina!

Nina, I so enjoyed working with you. Thanks for showing us to the highest pub in Ireland, as well--that was a blast :) I admire you for joining up with Doctors Without Borders--so many will benefit from your involvement. Best wishes!

All the best!

Hi Nina,

It's soooooo sad that you're leaving us but you're doing it for a great reason and I know you'll be just as successfull in your new "mission" as you have been at Google for the past 4 years.

Fortunately for me I have had the chance to work with you and get to know you personally so I can honestly say you are one of the best professionals I have ever worked with in my life (and at Google that's saying a lot!!) and you are also a wonderful person who has a positive mood which is "contagious" to all those around you :)

Also, you have some fine music taste I have to say ;) Dub is the true essence of Reggae music and I hope you continue listening to it :)

Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck in in DWB and I look forward to hearing the latest and greatest from you every so often ;)

Ciao and best of luck!

Good Bye Nina!

Ah Nina, having just seen you in tears I'm so sad you'll be going, but then I know you'll be so happy in your new job.

From the moment I started sharing that tiny office next to Rachel's desk and heard you fixing customers' problems on the phone (in lots of languages!) I was in awe of what you are capable of. I hope that MSF give you some amazing things to do that will allow you to put your capability to use in ways that will benefit lots of people who really need your help.

Please do keep us up to date with what you're doing, I will hope to bump into you around and about to hear all about it in person too.

Love and Good Luck!

Lucy

Nina - You Rock!

Nina,

Still remember coming back from holiday in South Africa and there was this woman sitting at my desk - how very dare she I thought

Can't believe you are leaving us and am VERY jealous of the adventures that lie ahead of you! At least you will still be around Dublin for a while and will be working with my lovely Niamh...

We'll miss you loads - you were always an inspiration and still are!

Best of luck with MSF and the travels, can't wait to hear all of the tales you come back with.

Love always,
Michelle

Viva Nina

All the best Nina, sure we hardly even knew ya.

Hopefully we'll meet again in some exotic location where you're doing important humanitarian work, and I'm just another rubbernecking tourist.

Until then, keep on rockin' in the third world.

Tim.

Goodbye and goodluck!

Ciao Nina,
just a little twist to the famous movie title to wish you all the best.
I really admire you for the direction you are taking.
You will be very missed here: you enlighten the whole place here with your energy and your smile!
Come back to visit us, please...
Un abbraccio,
Livia

Good luck, Nina!

Nina, thank you for being so great and always full of energy and smiles! Best of luck in anything that you will do in the future! Olga

Nina, all the best for your new misson.
You will be very missed around here.

All the best, Nina!

Hey Nina,

Wish you all the best in your new role. Charity direction sounds like a great way to go and important mission to achieve.

Stay as cool as you are, ride the bike and send your new contacts to keep in touch.

Best,
Igor

She came in through the bathroom window...

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

I'm not sure about the thumbsucking....

Or the bathroom window for that matter....

But it was either this or Polythene Pam.... and you'd never forgive me for that.

Anyway, now that you're leaving Google, you'll have more time for Poker and Ponies. We never did manage to combine the two, so that's definitely still one for the mutual "to do" list.

Don't be a stranger. You know where we all are. Or you can "Google" us.

I'll be thinking of you during the awkward pause every time "Because" abruptly stops and "You Never Give Me Your Money" begins.

Nina,

I can't believe you're actually leaving us... I mean, I do understand why you are doing this and I admire you for living your dream. But life here will be terribly dull without you. Guess I will have to invite myself a lot more often for home-made pasta in the future ; )

I wish you all the best in your new job and that you will be able to make the world a better place - I know you have it in you. Now, before I get all soppy, here are a few pony pictures for good measure (can you remember where I took them?) and I will be seeing you at the party!

Love, Chris

My Nina

You will be so missed. Can't wait to see you soon again.

Love, Sarah

Buena suerte amiga

Dear Nina,

If the word googly was in the dictionary, without a doubt there would be a picture of you. I cannot think of anyone as friendly, enthusiastic, caring, giving, trustworthy, cheerful, fun and loving person as you.

They say that a good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. That is you. You are not only very talented but also you truly care for people, and that is what makes you so special.

Thank you for working hard to make us happy, thank you for your time, thank you for your support and your advice, thank you for your trust, thank you for your friendship. It was a pleasure to work for you.

I wish you all the good things in life. May all your dreams come true, and may you keep brightening up the life of others.

You will always be in my heart, and I will make sure that no matter what life brings we will always remain friends.

Buena suerte y hasta siempre amiga :D

Q4 IOS offsite - jaysus that's a fine bit of hurlin girl!

Ponies, spreadsheets, and the backend

Nina,

It's hard to believe this is your last day. You have been a sparkling example of passion, dedication, and professionalism. You've also been a wonderful colleague and friend to many of us. I've learned a lot of important things from you: about attitude and values and people. I never did learn enough about Analytics and I apologise for not studying more. Actually, let me apologise in bulk for the following:

- having the temperature in my office set at 18 degrees
- getting all fired up immediately after An Inconvenient Truth and not remaining so
- not buying a hybrid car
- saying "what do you want?" when you swanned into my office
- not stopping for a chat about kittens and ponies when I passed your desk
- being present when you made the infamous backend comment
- mispronouncing Capri
- not being a hippy

I know you learned some things from me too: (1) to put on your jacket when you came into my office and (2) to forget about IM, phone, and calendar, and instead just storm right in whenever something was on your mind.

MSF don't yet know how lucky they've been to find you. But they'll find out soon enough. I cannot think of a single person I know who is more suited to this. You're an inspiration and I'm going to miss you.

Stephen

P.S. On the plus side, we'll find it easier to pick an offsite event in your absence. Your protest votes against karting and paint-balling were well noted. I'm sorry we never got around to pony-riding and chocolate-tasting, but perhaps you can join us for our next offsite dinner.
