smallhobbitWell, tomorrow is my last day at work. I'll be sad in a way, but I do feel it's the right thing to be doing. All this week people have been saying good-bye to me and hugging me and saying how much they'll miss me. Tomorrow we go out for lunch and then I have a farewell tea break in the afternoon.
Three weeks' ago I applied for a job, which stated "tell us why you'd be good for this position" (or something similar). I did so, blowing my own trumpet. The following afternoon (Friday) I received an email asking me if I could come for an interview on the Monday. I went and was offered the job on the spot. It will be 8 to 16 hours to start with, reducing to 4 to 8. It's accounts work, getting the systems into order, for a small telecoms firm.
Which is a great start. I need to find a second job for 12 to 15 hours and then I'll be set. I went for an interview Tuesday, but have heard no more, and I suspect I've asked for more than they want to pay. I'm ambivalent about the job - there are pluses and minuses - but I decided to take it if they offered it - which seems unlikely.
So it looks like I might do the dusting, take lots of things to the charity shop, sort out my clothes etc.
Meanwhile, SM and I are off to London tomorrow when I finish work. We're seeing Hamlet on Saturday and due to FGW's strike the trains are even worse than usual, so we're driving up and staying over.
