Last day of work
Sep. 13th, 2005 11:52 amI seem to be on something of a sugar high just now. This is unsurprisingly the result of having nothing to eat except sugar all morning - I brought in a pack of doughnuts and a supply of the best biscuits in the Universe (Fox's Golden Crunch Creams, if you're wondering) in return for the never-ending stream of goodies that I've been plied with since starting work here. The effect isn't quite as bad as the time when I drank hot chocolate with about ten spoons of sugar in it right after giving blood, but it's causing me to be rather twitchy, especially as I'm just sitting here with nothing to do until 12:30 except sort out some papers so that I can make them marginally more decipherable to whosoever I decide to land them on.
I was given a card by the rest of the team (half of whom are mysteriously out today). I didn't think my leaving was a huge event as I've only been here for two months, but it was much appreciated.
Actually, I have right this moment been given my last assignment - breaking in to the petty cash tin. Someone's misplaced the key for it, so I've been handed the tough black box and a selection of hammers and pliers to bash it open. This could prove to be my most difficult task yet.
In addition, it turns out that our new departmental administrator doesn't exist. After phoning in saying that she's fallen down her stairs, no one in the office could get hold of her for ages. The deputy director decided to contact one of her references, and it turns out that she's done this before - got a job, come in to work the first day, phoned in with an unfortunate accident and vanished off the face of the earth. No one knows why she does this. In fact, no one even knows who she is at all, as she's most likely using a false name.
I really couldn't make this up.
