    Well, I start on 7th April.. As for the boss, well it did not end well.. His version of the future did not include me.. They did not want to renew my contract due to my performance.. Weird as a week earlier he said in an earlier meeting that he was very pleased with my performance.. Well I questioned him as to his reasons and he could not answer..

    5.30pm, I packed my stuff, returned my laptop, phone..smiled widely and walked out with my head high.. At least, my dignity is intact and my conscience is clear..

    I now have 10 days holidays to rest and enjoy myself..
