That’s it! Last day at work done! I feel strangely emotional in a way I had not expected. I suppose, no matter how much of a downer a place of work has been, you’ve still spent a huge amount of time there and so there will be some residual subconscious attachments that will take a while to sever.
Did I really just say that?????
In truth, I feel completely relieved. They tried to give me a bit of a send-off but I received it with the same lack of enthusiasm it was offered with. I shook hands with Graham and he thanked me for all my efforts, and I just felt numb. None of the staff really seemed to give a shit, they were just standing there because they’d been told to and because it gave them an excuse to be away from their work stations for ten minutes.
I was given a card (signed by six people) and a voucher for fifty quid that could only be redeemed at that store, and that was my big thank you after slogging myself to death for them for a number of years.
Did I really just say that????? What a liar! Even someone with my eccentric imagination could not really describe my work ethic as ‘slogging.’
Anyway, the voucher will be useful as a Christmas present, and THANK GOD I never have to visit that dump again!
I’d love to get really drunk now, but I have to go to the NEW place tomorrow for ‘orientation’
It’ll take me exactly three minutes to drive there from home. What a chore!
