So here it is..before 10am on Saturday when I'd normally still be snoring it out enjoying a lie in, and this particular Saturday when I have even less reason than normal to have to be up..I'm here typing up a blog entry. Why? Cos my head is throbbing from all the drink last night and the room starts to spin afresh if I lie back down. Were we playing 'Scorthy Bingo...JW, Mr Green & Aileen...you'd have me with 'sick as a small hospital'.
I had the best time last night. It was great to see so many of ye out, I'm really chuffed that so many people were able to make it..I know I didn't get around to everyone for a drink..if I missed you..sorry..my bad, I'll get you when I get back! I haven't looked at the camera yet..no doubt I'm making my same stupid face in all of them ;) I'll post some up in the next few days when I've had a chance to screen them.
Special thanks to people who flew in for last night. Dave - you are a legend my friend (miss the little goldfish song a lot!), and Sarah - please come to Oz on your hols..pretty, pretty please?
I'm struggling to comprehend that I don't have to go to work on Monday..it's gonna be weird not to have to be there after almost 8 years with the company. It's definitely going to be weird not seeing people for so long..got a lot of friends in work..not just colleagues. Please keep in touch guys?!
My last day went very, very fast...didn't get to do everything I wanted/needed to, but I'm sure it'll still be there when I get back. I was hoping the speeches thing would be avoided since I'm only gone for a few months..but it wasn't. Those things are sooooo embarrassing...I'm sure I sounded like a mumbling fool! I am super chuffed and surprised by my departing gift - a Sydney Bridge climb and a Parachute Jump from 15,000ft in New Zealand. I kinda feel like I shouldn't go back to work now...ye gave WAY too generously to the collection, that kinda generosity should be for people who are leaving long term...but not liking to complain I'll take the gifts and smile - a seriously large thank you from me to you! I'll make sure to get the DVD of the parachute jump..something to entertain ye with when I get back! And I will be back...

The Sydney Bridge climb looks awesome. Cerri did one when he was in Sydney with work recently.. I'll try to poke out the pictures and send them onto you.. he did the climb at dusk, so when they started going up it was just getting dark, and he said that the lights in Sydney harbour by the time they reached the top were fantastic. I've got it on my list of things to do when we're in Sydney again, although I don't do too well with climbing up and down ladders, so I may struggle with some parts!
ReplyDeleteI was talking to my dad about it at the weekend..he had hoped to do it when he was there but it apparently books out months in advance so I'm gonna get it booked before I leave. Gra had the same advice on the time of day to do it..you get the best of both worlds that way :)
