Last day of work this year (unless I have to mop up any mess I might have created)

There.

Now I am finally done and dusted as well. Friday afternoon, 17:00, I handed in my temporary staff pass for work and exited the building. But I expect to be back once more, that is when I find my real pass which I 'misplaced' a few weeks back. I'm sure its around here somewhere...

It feels like Vaniahs been off work for ages, but its only been a week, I guess you quickly get used to having food waiting for you when you get home from work :).

So only a little packing, beer-drinking and cleaning up to do before we're on our way, 6 days and counting... I guess life is kind of good after all..

Last day of work this year

Not sure what I want to say here but it feels like it should be a momentous occasion that I should record. I'm not planning to go back to work this year; during the next two weeks I shall be packing up my life in London and moving all my stuff to Sweden. At the end of next month we get married and then our rtw adventure really starts. But, I guess, as Johan says, my adventure has now already begun.

I'll let you know how I feel when it starts to sink in...

One week to go...

No, not until we leave for our trip, but instead one more week of work before I finish for a while. I can't wait. I've met my replacement and she is lovely so I will be leaving my team in good hands. It's weird, a year ago I was crawling up the walls to get out of that place but now I have a brilliant project with a great, functioning team and I'm actually quite sad to leave. Sad but glad of course, I will be embarking on a great adventure which I can't wait to start.

I will miss our daily morning walks to work along the Thames (pictured) but I'm sure we will continue to walk great distances, and hopefully with scenery which is just as varied and interesting as the Thames. I will miss the buzz of London though I won't miss the complete craziness and expense of it. I will miss my monthly paycheques :) but I'm sure that in the right time, I will find another job! One thing I am sure of, I won't regret throwing it all in and going on this trip.

No if only time would hurry on by...
