It’s now 10 working days to the fateful day, and (at
last!!), my workload is really tailing off. Major milestones that I have passed
since my last blog:-
·
I have finished my last ever monthly sales and
revenue forecast review session (by my reckoning, I have done over 400 of these
in my working life)
·
I have written my last ever performance
appraisal for one of the team who work for me (I can’t begin to guess how many
of these I’ve written over the years)
·
My inbox has a total of 4 (count ‘em – 4!!)
messages in it waiting to be dealt with
·
My diary for next week contains the grand total
of 7 appointments (that was the average for a single morning previously)
·
I’ve just dumped a couple of my work suits – I skipped
my usual “buy two extra suits at the start of each year” this time around, and
have been eking out my current set of suits, hoping they will go the distance.
I noticed that two of them are a little worse for wear, and, courtesy of
extended usage, have some additional ventilation in the “gentlemen’s area” so they
have been consigned to history. The remaining three should see out my final
days.
Come the end of next week, I will have also completed my
last visit to my client in Huntingdon (being as I live in Broadstairs, that’s a
journey I will be immensely pleased to never have to experience again!), and
then it will a gentle run down of tidying up some administration, tying up a
few loose ends, going through the pointless farrago of an exit interview (I’m
retiring because I’m old and my pension is sort of where I need it to be – what
more do you need to know?) and being on hand to deal with any last minute
queries before I finally hand in my phone, company credit card, PC and ID card
(oh, and my last expenses claim!). However, the one thing I am really, really
looking forward to is telling LinkedIn to bugger off and leave me alone…..
