Time, huh?

I really can't believe that the Easter Holidays are imminent. I barely seem to have felt the first sharp breath of Winter before I'm already close to giving up my Saturdays to work again.
And speaking of 'can't believe' and the passing of time, I received a very nice card and present from the company last week, to celebrate the fact that I have been here for five years now.
FIVE YEARS!!!!!
That really can't be true, can it? But the HR lady in our office (who is also many other things, not exclusively HR) insists it is so, and a quick glance at the past content of this blogsite does indeed confirm that I left my previous place of employment at the end of February 2021.
My God, that is scary.
The surreal nature of it might be down to the fact that I started during the latter stages of The Pesky Virus. I seem to remember I couldn't even enter the office for the first few weeks of employment, and when I did, I wasn't allowed to shake hands with anyone, or be shown around every part of the site on the same day, or be maskless. Such a weird thing to think about now, and such an insane decision to enter the world of tourism at the point it was under its strictest set of guidelines since Humankind first sought a Holiday! By comparison, 2026 should be a piece of piddle. Especially now I've been reminded I have five years-worth of experience.
FIVE YEARS!!!
