So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

Jenni and I are now officially unemployed! The final week at work was a busy one for the both of us, tying up loose ends and handing over work.

The leaving lunch at the Moon and Sixpence started off as a bit of a debarcle due to the establishment misplacing my booking, but they managed to pull through and accomodate about 25 of us.

Both of us were treated to very kind words from our respective managers and directors at goodbye speeches and were wished well by many people. Once again, Jenni and I woud like to extend our thanks to all of the people we worked with over the past few years at Rio and Proteus . You will be sorely missed!

We took a couple of snapshots of our goodbye cards. Cheers to everyone that contributed, the kind words mean a lot to the both of us.

Times a Tickin'

Jen and I will be officially unemployed in a couple of days!

Everything is full steam ahead at this stage organizing things like last minute visas, selling stuff we cannot keep, moving out of the house, booking the first few nights of accommodation in Japan and all sorts of other things.

We are definitely looking forward to having a bit of a breather after we move out on the weekend.

For anyone who has missed out on the Facebook invite or hasn't heard through the grapevine, we are having leaving drinks at the Grapeskin Wine Bar (the wine bar in the Brass Monkey) from 7pm onwards on Friday the 12th of March, 2 days before we take off.
