I knew last week was coming, and then all of a sudden it was there - my last week of work! Relatively speaking it's a quiet time of year for subscriptions, so I was all up-to-date - and training the girl who was taking over from me was foremost on the agenda...
And then it was friday. For once I didn't have a mad panic finishing things off, and at 4pm we downed tools and laid out some cakes for a little farewell party.
Geez, being in the spotlight - I'm so not good with that! And to make matters worse Claire made a speech about how lovely it was to have worked with me (aw..) and left me to say something in return, and like a complete goose I froze and didn't know what to say! So to divert attention off myself I offered to open the gifts they'd bought me, but that wasn't much better cos they were all watching, and my hands were shaking! What a nincompoop.
I got lots of hugs goodbye, and they said some really nice things about me in my farewell cards (yes, I got two!), which I read on the tube going home. I'm going to miss some genuinely lovely people.
I'm just glad I survived the year - admirably I think - and now I'm officially unemployed for the next 3 weeks! I need a holiday...

Hey Neen,
I know a great place for a holiday. It is a little place called Melbourne Australia. You should try it sometime ;-)
