my last week at work
off to work in a bit for the final week, have not been unemployed since i dont know when
final countdown begins although personnel know nothing about my impending departure (as i found out today) so no p45 to claim my tax back will be forthcoming this week(AARRGGHH)
had a lovely chat with the tax lady though who has visited oz extensivly couldnt get her off the bloody phone for an hour while she chirped on about parrotts
3 more shifts to go la la la la

Good Luck Arlene
Does it get any easier the closer you are to going?
We have just set our date - 9th June.
The biggest problem is one of us might kill the other one before then.
Please tell me once the flights have been booked and the shippers sorted out it all gets better, please!!

Re: my last week at work
Enjoy your last few shifts!
I can't wait for my day to come, it's already hard to motivate myself and I haven't even got my TRA assessment back yet!
Good luck!
