And Another Chapter Closes

Today was my last day at work. As tradition, those who could make it trooped over to the bar at the Marriott next door for a couple of drinks at lunchtime and to chat about future plans. I was really glad to see that lots of people turned up; what with 25% being made redundant just last Wednesday, it was really nice of them to come to my going-away drink.

I did manage to get a lot of work done this morning before heading over; it felt good to have a productive day even on your last day of work. I spent the better part of the rest of the afternoon clearing out my desk, throwing things away and writing a ton of notes to my boss about this, that and the other. She has a way of forgetting about projects that are in the pipeline and I leave her notes detailing everything that I've been working on behind the scenes, like webpages that are waiting to be unveiled, news releases that are ready to be announced, etc etc.

At around 4pm or so, our COO gathered everyone around to say a couple of words about my stay at NXT. It was all so very sweet; everyone had signed a card for me, FULL of 'best of luck' wishes, which I love because I actually keep all these cards and take them out to look at months or years from now. It always puts a smile on my face. Val joked that she'd be glad to stop getting all my little note and Post-Its now! There was another envelope and inside was £70 in gift certificates to Office. New shoes baby, woohoo! Awesome!!

So hugs, goodbyes and good lucks all around. Best of all, I got the bonus I was hoping to get! Another woohoo!!

Goodbye NXT. I had so much fun and really enjoyed my time there. Best of luck to everyone, whether you're staying or not. I'll be watching! (And I may be back, bwahahaha!)
