Tomorrow evening I’ll be having a few drinks with colleagues and friends I’ve known and worked with over the last 4 years at my current employers. My wife was asking me how I was feeling about it given that I was basically a week away from leaving my job for good…I had to admit that i wasn’t sorry at all !
Shame…I left my last banking role with a fair degree of sadness not only because I enjoyed the work but I was saying goodbye to such a good team there. They worked hard…very very hard, but being as this was the 90’s in London we played damn hard too…all topped off by the fact that in each of our respective project teams we were left alone to get on with things, managed at the top of the food chain by one of the most idiosyncratic managers I’d ever worked with. Anyone reading this…think ‘Tin tin’ haircut, boyish face, hyoooge and a surreal taste in suits !
Well I’ll shortly be back working for him again so we’ll see if age and experience have mellowed him any - given my last run-in with him over a breakfast meeting a month back when he clasped my head to his ample midriff and rattled his knuckles over my scalp shouting ‘Scotty…ye wee Scottish f##ker!’ loudly enough to startle every diner in the room - so no…probably not.
Roll on the end of the month and my startdate…can’t wait to get stuck in !
