ToWorkOrNotToWork...
So this is the last day!
I have spent the morning so far emptying the 'My Documents' folder and getting rid of everything in my e-mail inboxes. Now my section of the computer is looking very empty. It feels odd sitting here today. For everyone else it is a normal day, they all have to come in again tomorrow and the next day and the next week etc. But not me! As of tomorrow i shall be jobless with so much time on my hands that i won't know what to do with it. Well, thats probably an exagerration because i'm sure that i will find plenty to do - as my coursework deadlines will *stealth* up on me quicker than i know it. Thats one thing that i definitely put off getting on with until i had finished at this place. I didn't want to risk starting an important piece of work until i was well out of here so that i wouldn't risk mesing it up due to bad-headedness. Its a truly unusual feeling though knowing that i have nigh on 6 clear weeks to do nothing but concentrate on my coursework, as i have in the past always had other things to be working on or going to as well.
I really just want to be out of here now though. I don't like 'last days'. I said i didn't want them to do a collection for me, which a few people didn't understand - but it was because i have seen them doing collections in the past and its all a bit half-hearted. One person gets badgered into organising it, and then they have to pester people to put some money in an envelope and nobody's ever very enthusiastic about it. I figured that i would save people the hassle and told the person that was roped into doing my collection that they didn't have to and that when we all go for a drink in a couple of weeks, that they can just buy me a drink or something. Besides i have only been here a year, and i have no delusions about my role in this office - i am part of the easily replaceable admin group - there is nothing that i do here that no-one else could do and as such i know that once i'm gone apart from a couple of people, i will be forgotten relatively quickly and in most respects, that feeling is mutual.
