good luck with the last day and all the other days afterwardsanother_casualty wrote: »Yeah, hope everything works out well for you DIA
Different times now . I wonder how many people actually do stay in a great job for 20+ years these days and get a gold watch etc.
I think those days are gone for most .
Life is one big wind up these days .
Anyway enjoy your final day and rest of week ..:)Not surprised that you have mixed feeling.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Well done on securing that table DIA - what a bargain! I hope you're enjoying it even more because you didn't pay full price for it
I hope you manage to enjoy your last morning at work tomorrow before the next chapter begins. It's a big change for you, so natural that you have mixed feelings.
Your spends on going out with a friend resonate so much with me - when I'm out with friends, all sense and money savviness goes completely out the window. I throw money about like it's water and it's borderline ridiculous. However, most of my friends have about 20% of the commitments that I have so it's not so big a deal to them. I need to start reining myself in and thinking about the knock on effect. But at the same time, living and enjoying the fun. How to strike a balance? I have no clue. If you find out, let me know.Sealed Pot Challenge 075
