So Far, So Good...

So the deed has been done. I handed in my resignation last Monday just about managing to circumnavigate all the potential banana skins feared in my previous blog entry. And my manager seemed to take the news reasonably well. He didn't even have the decency to burst into tears or scream "You've ruined my life!!!" at the top of his voice. And there I was thinking I was a vital piece of machinery within the comapny without which it would never be able to function properly. Time to think again.

As for the rest of the week, at first it seemed as if no-one wanted to talk to me about it. But since approx Wednesday I have been fielding question after question about why, when, where, whatever. This is obviously great fun at first as everyone loves a chance to gab on about themselves and their life, but by the end of the week was getting to be a bit wearing. Though it was quite amusing to see the number of people who seemed to think I'd won a prize and kept saying 'Congratulations!'

And now, for my final three months of employment with the company, I have the lovely task of documenting 'everything I know'. What fun.

Next steps will be my first trip to Glasgow to actually view some potential new homes & hopefully meet up with my solicitor (or at least the bloke I'm assuming will be my solicitor although he doesn't know it yet). I'm planning to travel up there on Friday afternoon and return the following Wednesday. So hopefully, I can avoid the onerous documentation mountain for at least the first couple of days of the forthcoming working week by spending all day on the phone to estate agents trying to book viewings. When I leave the company in mid-June, I'm going to miss not having to pay for phone calls.
