Well, this is it...

Ten minutes to go, and I'm going to spend them saying goodbye to people. The desk is clear, all the non-work stuff is deleted from the PC, the address book is emptied.

Most people have gone already. So, this is it. I'm unemployed again, about nine years after the last time. Feh.

Oh well, if nothing else it should be interesting. For a bit. Time to go.

Exit, stage left.

Listen: the people you want to keep in touch with you will, and the people you never want to see again you won't have to!

And how could such a techie spod be out of work for long?

Because the IT market is currently really bad.

Now, why does that make me want to hum the Horatii's 'The Poisoner'?

It's the end of a chapter, which is always weird and bittersweet whatever the chapter itself was like. But you will be fine.

Always reminds me of Snagglepuss...

Always reminds me of [livejournal.com profile] labyrinth_lizzy, who used to quote the "Exit stage left, pursued by a bear" stage direction from Shakespeare (Winter's Tale, iirc) at people.

Out of the picture, low heeled and smiling, slides our imposter.

Well, aside from the fact that it's one of my favourite songs, it is terribly appropriate. Although I didn't poison anyone, or leave them any other nasty presents.

More generally, do I look like the sort of person who'd poison angels for kicks? Is mine not a face you can trust? Honestly, some people... :)

Its going to feel so odd next week, walking around the building and half the people not there. At least I have a full wall to wall stock take to keep me busy. :(

Why do I feel that there are only idiots left at the company now?

That's got to be a really unflattering feeling... *hides*
