Although i dont leave work until the 21st of september. I had my first leaving do tonight. There are another couple of staff leaving so we decided to merge our leaving do's into one. Working shifts also means that a couple of folks still have to work, so again it made more sense just to have one rather than three.
As ive been with the company for 7 and a half years there have been loads of staff that i have worked with over the years who now work in different stores. It would have been lovely to invite them to tonights meal but as it wasnt just my leaving do, i didnt think it was fair to take over with inviting extra folks. I didnt think i was going to find time to meet up with everyone else, but a couple of the guys were asking if there was anything planned and suggested that we just had a quiet drink in one of the local pubs. I have managed to sort out a night, so on the 16th i am meeting up with some of the folks from different stores and also my current boss as i have worked with her on and off for my whole time of working with the company. Its really nice that they want to meet up and will be a great chance to say my goodbyes to them all. We tend to chat randomly over the week at work as we have to pass info between the stores, but will be great to actually spend some time with them socially.
On the 17th there is the Ship of fools brum leaving do. There are 3 folks leaving Brum so again the evening is shared. Im sure i will make it to Brum meets in the future, but its going to be fantastic to meet up with everyone. My fourth leaving do is on the 18th and that is going to be a meal out with my friends from church. I think im going to be absolutly tired out by the end of the week, but its going to be so worth it as i will be getting to catch up with so many folks and to also say my goodbyes.
