The End of an Era

**WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**.. come on.. as if any of you didn't know I swear like a sailor!!






Well kids, here I am sitting at my desk at work for the last time. Today is my very last day and I am feeling very reflective. It feels so good to be leaving but it also feels so sad. I am going to miss this place (and all the things I hate about it) and all the friends I've made here. It'll be weird to think that I won't be able to catch the train home with Mairead or chat with Aldo in the Cafe or exchange funny emails with Matt... oh yeah.. and do my work.... This trip has been so long coming that it felt like my last day at work would never come, and now that it finally has.. well.. I'm a little teary.

It's strange to think that I won't be having those wonderful conversations with all those people who call back missed calls and yell at me when I tell them it could have been any one of the 600 people in the company... and I'm actually sad that the woman who stalked me for three days won't have a chance to do it anymore... I mean, I really will miss the way she'd call up JUST to yell and scream at me, I felt so special... good times... good times... I honestly did at times want to just have a sudden bout of tyrrets at them... I fantasiced my last day would be filled with me doing naughty things... like answering the phone with "G'Day, Dave's Pizzeria"... or something equally stupid.. but I suppose I can't... that whole professionalism thing.

In all honestly though I really will miss it here. My colleagues put on a farewell lunch yesterday and got me a going away gift and this massive card that everyone had signed and I almost cried while trying to give a thank you. I haven't worked in a better place than where I do right now and despite all its faults it's a great company to be with, so it's a shame I am leaving. But I guess I can add it to my list of great experiences I'll never forget.
