My last day!

Well today is my last day in my job!!! Shortly I will be off to enjoy some steaks and probably wash it down with many beverages :p

End of an era really for me. I've been at the uni here since 1996. Amazing how times flys! And sadly I have to say goodbye to my work G5 mac. I've had it for 4 years and its been a great workhorse. Annoyingly I can't take it with me as the powers decided its needed for "testing purposes". Shame really, had lots of good fun on it and I'm certain 90% of my Firstones posts were done on this mac (obviously during my lunch hour ;)).

Right I'm getting hungry, time to round up my soon to be ex-colleagues :)

    So part of you is going to stay at your old job, and the part that is leaving is going to miss it? :D

    congrats falcon I'm sure you've earned it 4 years on one job is pretty damn good.

    So how was the steak and ale?

    Well yeah part of me wanted to stay really. It was my first proper job out of uni and I was there for 6 years and 9 months, quite a long time. One gets into a comfortable grove in that situation. Which is why I decided to leave. If I hadn't I would probably be stuck there for another 7 years. So it was time to move. Plus I'm going to work for a cancer charity which will be really nice. Hopefully I can contribute in some way :)

    Biggles, yes I will try :) I have a meeting with them on Monday to discuss preliminary stuff before I start properly on the 7th of January. Both my bosses actually have macs but at home, but they felt I would be getting a pc. They are also going to get me a laptop so I might be able to swing a MacBook and push the boot into XP line. We shall see :)

    The steak was good Johnny :P And many ales were had but not enough to stop me from writing this reasonably composed piece... anyway I have to move into my new house tomorrow :D :D

    Its all happening here!! :p
