    Thanks guys!

    Seems I picked a good time to bail. Aside from the fact a number of invitations were sent out to clients to come in and say bye and enjoy some drinks and nibblies (along with balloons and streamers) throughout the day, we had a steady stream of people wanting to do their tax returns.

    Final day and I was STILL doing some teaching, (and there was still stuff I didn't get around to passing on). I think the one thing that's left me annoyed is I left with a small pile of tax and gst returns to be completed, and no plan to complete them! And any time I left work I either had no piles left over or had a plan in place to get them over and done with completely!

    So aside from the rather large parting cheque, I also got a fancy keyring with my name on one side, and the years I was there on the other plus a couple of kg's of ... chocolate. Dunno why people think the best friend for fat people is chocolate but you know .... whatever. All that was from work, one client got me a $10 scratchie (won $25) while another got me a fancy gold pen and letter opener set.

    I think the one thing i've learnt ... is just how much people not only relied on me, but how they just assumed i'd never leave. But hey, not my problem now.

    Watch out Burn, the Lotteries People will want you to do a TV ad claiming how surprised you were that you actually won money on a scratchie!

    That's not what a TF collector would be thinking, it would be more like "DELUXE"
