Today is my last day at work in this office. Last night I watched Office Space, which is kinda apt for the night before leaving a cubicle-filled office. Only troube is, his morning I have tonsilitis. Showed the doctor where I worked and he looked a bit repulsed, saying I had “nodules” on my tonsils. Oh well, I love getting ill on a Friday… no Doctors appointments til next week. Which means I am left gargling aspirin water and sucking on weird looking lozenges that promise me they’re antbacterial. Hell, it’s probably viral.
Today we’re eating lots and lots of cake at work and going out for lunch to a local pub where they serve really delicious home cooked chips! MrC is off work today, at home with a cold. I bought some nice sausages at the farmers market this morning whilst I was waiting for Boots to open. Boots would probably be a better name for a shoe shop, but then Target would be a better name for a firing range.
I found this desktop wallpaper on deviant art: Femme Fatale by StuntKid http://blog.stuntkid.com/. I kinda like it. Deleting all my personal folders now, old emails and the like. Will still probably have to do some testing for them next week, because the development of a programme I was working on was delayed, but that’s OK. You know, now that I am leaving, it doesn’t seem so bad. But that’s because I know I won’t be here when I’m 50, even if it would be great job security.
I am very much looking foward to going on holiday, seeing some tug of war with muscly men, curiosities, indie craft fair, horse racing (never been before), roof-top movies, Hyde Park, Long Island and other places. I may even get to meet up with Jan at some point. If you have ever been to New York and know of cool places to see and things to do, then let me know. I’ve done Ellis and Liberty Islands, the Empire State Building, Time Square and so on, so something not well known in the tourist books.
Y’know, it doesn’t really feel like my last day. It’s not a big deal, I’ve not worked here that long. They have given me a nice bag as a going away present. I’m not moving house. But, it’ll be nice not to sit infront of a computer all day long. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day.

I’m working on the meeting! Just 8 hours away…I can manage that.
Boo on the tonsillitis, but hooray on the last day of work! I hope the sore throat doesn’t hinder your lunchtime celebration.
tonsillitis sucks! eat lots of ice cream. When’s the holiday? Its nice that your work made an effort for you even though you werent there long. I worked somewhere for three years and I didn’t even get a leaving card.
tonsillitis totally sucks. i used to have that issues with my tonsils as well. and now i don’t have them as they have been removed. i hope you don’t have to go through that!
enjoy the last day of work (which i suppose is already over).
Hugs!
A bag? Very nice indeed. You must have made an impression on someone! Ah New York. I can take or leave the place but the BA is obsessed. She keeps playing that song ‘New York I Love You(but you’re bringing me down)’. Now when I give her a hard time she slings her arm around my shoulder and sings ‘Mummy I love you, but you’re bringing me down…’
Horse racing! V cool. You know I am a fan. Make sure you do it right; get a race book and look at the ‘form’; check the odds and go for something in the middle that has all the right ticks in the boxes (weight, familiar jockey, previous wins, barrier draw, distance, weather/track condition); always place your bet yourself, don’t get someone to do it for you, and watch the race trackside if you can. Might do another horse racing post just to get you in the mood…need to get a bit more light hearted at the moment.
Anyhoo……hope you’re having a great unemployed weekend.
Yeah, but do you really want to do want human beings were meant to do? Run around naked in East Africa digging up bugs to eat with sticks?
When’s your trip?
I love Stuntkid…though I only found out that was what he goes by just recently. I have a HUGE collection of Jason Levesque art. I really want his new coffee table book *heart*
Hope you feel better!!
