This is a true slice of reality.<br /><br />And the leaving without a goodbye - that kinda sucks although I did manage to avoid a dinner celebration one time when leaving a job - it was to be a "how much we love you and you love us" - NOT REALLY sort of celebration, so sometimes just leaving is a rather nice exit plan. Whichever it really was for you, I hope you're o.k. with it!<br /><br />THanks for making me smile and nod yes a lot:)<br /><br />xoDianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-31758280813238939072010-03-07T02:27:26.621+11:002010-03-07T02:27:26.621+11:00Sorry Sue, that last comment was from your friend ...Sorry Sue, that last comment was from your friend Zinger.

I had to check which one of you Barbaras it was :) <br /><br />You know, the fault really lies with the office manager, who obviously hasn't noted down my resignation day even though I've told her twice and given her a letter. She's new, and I think she's a bit overwhelmed, but it's still her fault.<br /><br />LOL yeah, the axe guy had probably just caught too much public transport! :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-90455990644541261012010-03-06T11:36:39.836+11:002010-03-06T11:36:39.836+11:00I hope they all show up at work on Monday wonder w...I hope they all show up at work on Monday wonder where you are, realize what insensitive blobs they are and feel like shit all day for forgetting! And I hope you wake up Monday and say "I like working from home because I get to be with one of the coolest people on the planet, me".<br /><br />Great story of the train ride. People are so jacked up (phone people not axe guy). The axe guy was probably a disgruntled phone person.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-90858847936024491412010-03-06T10:00:37.563+11:002010-03-06T10:00:37.563+11:00Erin - see, I do have a bit of introvert in me, ri...Erin - see, I do have a bit of introvert in me, right? :) Yes, the solitude must be busted open with friend and family visits, definitely!<br /><br />Kel - it is awesomely exciting, and I feel very happy to be able to do it.

It is like being invisible. And I get why you didn't bother to tell anyone too. Sigh. But I do hope you enjoy working alone, just be sure to conjure up something to break up the solitude from time to time.<br /><br />Anyhow, beautiful capture of your experiences in this post.
