lucky to be me

WHee!! I'm work free for another semester. Well office work that is. It's back to book-hugging now. (tune in to D's book-hugging adventures starting 26/02/07)

Today was my last day at Amcor. It sure was a quick 12 weeks. I can hang up my business suits and start wearing normal clothes again. =) The best part is that I don't have to get up at 7.30 monday to friday.Ok...I was exaggerating a fair bit. work is not all that bad so much so that I'm happy to leave. It's just exhausting. I want my student life back (and for a few more years). But today was great. They all made a big fuss of me leaving. like I was royalty a VIP. Most of today was about me and I was only there for 3 months.

Coz I won't be able to make it to lunch at the Grand Hotel tomorrow (they're going bowling after that...relaxation day for employees), we had this small lunch at the nearby shopping centre while gossiping about stuff...a farewell lunch type-of-thing. Can't believe I'm going to miss lunch and bowling...when it's on the company.


Then when I least expected it, my manager had the whole group come round to my office (a bit of a squeeze) for a little farewell speech, and then I got this:




A cute leaving card...




...that doubles up as a cert with a few messages in it



And this:




a gift card for use in a Sanity music/dvd store




AUD$80.00 worth of music and movies!!! 0.0


My jaw literally dropped when I opened it. I pretty much got the full treatment of an actual employee who's leaving and I'm only a student.

Tell you what...I consider myself lucky to have spent my summer holiday working at Amcor. I've learnt heaps of stuff and gained a bit of experience not to mention getting to know quite a few really nice people.

The fruit baskets will be sorely missed. As well as choccy-biscuit fridays and the morning tea's and lunches. Most of all, my co-workers.
