So I'm in my final week here at my current employer. I'm working out my notice and it's all a bit odd. It's like breaking up from your girlfriend or something, only over a longer period of time. I'm sure it would be better to just leave quickly, without the 2 week, slow death march.
Slowly but surely I am being removed from various loops and things are moving ahead without my input. Obviously this is a nescessity and a good thing, being as I'm leaving, but it's weird. People seem a little uncomfortable around me, like something has changed. It's very subtle. Almost like I've got a fatal illness and noone really wants to meet my eye. It's a little bit like the morning after a particularly embarassing party.
I'm taking the entire company out for lunch tomorrow as a thankyou and a fairwell to all my friends and colleagues. It's surprising how many people who I have never really had anything to do with, want to see me off. maybe it's because it's a free meal
