Today, after 12 years, 6 months, and a handful of days, I end my employment at my current job.
I was employed as a Clerk, but did anything but with a job that involved advising clients about tax, doing tax returns, sorting out GST garbage, system administrator, handyman, and office clown. Had to adopt the last part to match the great joke that was my pay.
On Monday I move to my new job where I take up the position of Office Supervisor for a local engineering/hardware firm. All new challenges plus i'm going to a company that has plans of expanding out of the town (only way to survive seeing as the cane and banana industry is about to keel over and go the way of the tobacco and fishing industry around here). Plus I won't have to put up with the public as much. 12 and a half years of people bitching and whining that $5000 isn't enough of a tax refund tends to get on your nerves ...
And i'll have a lot more money to spend on TF's, or a new car ... or both. :D :p
This will actually be only my second job since I left high school and I thought i'd be more nervous, or even excited, but suprisingly, I feel neither. Sunday night will probably be a different story.
So there's my once in a blue moon tale of interest. Thank you for allowing me to waste your time. :p (Something I probably won't be able to do at the new job!)
