Last Day

End of an era really.

My boss took me out for lunch today, which is good, because otherwise I wouldn't have ordered the £5 lychees (abusrd isn't it, that a restaurant can charge that much for something which came out of a tin!). He also mentioned to me that I could take home the computers on my desk! Which isn't absurd - althought, I know have more computers than shoes at home.

I started this job 6 years ago, and I thought it was going to be the job which would set me on the path of prosperity and immense wealth.

Er, neither of those two have come my way. But I do know what food to order in a Korean restaurant!

And I do know which toilet to avoid in the men's!

Its so strange that I've come out of here, after 6 years feeling that my career has just stagnated working here. I've come out of here with a greater knowledge of I.T and Banking, yet because of the lack of business here, there's been no need to put my knowledge into practise. It's like being a doctor, yet having no patients to work on.

Its very strange leaving a place when you've been here so long - and althought I leave here with lots of negative thoughts, there has been some positives, and throughout the years, I did make some good friends who made the journey here somewhat more bearable - Carol, Ashley, Garry, Maria, Mercedes - thanks guys for providing some much needed laughts and for introducing me to drinking at lunchtime!

I'm coming back into the office tomorrow as I have to pick up my new goodies. It'll be a good feeling though, to know that I dont have to come in for work purposes!
