So on my final day at my last job I wanted to give a speech to sum up my feeling of nearly seven year there, but I couldn't. I'd scribbled down some notes a couple of months ago and the went something like this:
First, in no particular order, the Good & Bad things about working there:
(Names have been altered to protect the innocent)
| Good | Bad |
Secondly let's try Learnings vs Realisations :
(same rules apply)
| Learning | Realisation |
| Rubbish Bins | Rosters DO NOT WORK |
| Dishwasher | How hard is it to was a frigging fork |
| Paper Towels & Toilet Rolls | Your mother MUST work here |
| Foosball (Table soccer) | Yeah... nah |
| Basketball/Ice Hockey/Grid Iron | All sports play be Americans & the occasional Kiwi |
| How to put things in boxes & make them go away | It IS that easy, really. That fecking easy. |
| Office Politics | No matter what the size of the company, this is all the same |
| Customers | They're always right, except when they're wrong they're still right |
| People | Are strange, but that place wouldn't work without them that way |
| The Bus | Is a great way to see people change & grow over the years. Try it some time |
| LOTR | NAFTR |
| The Force | Is STRONG here |
| This List | Must end here |
TL;DR: In the words of The Doctor, from the movie Star Wars 7: The Quest for the Holy Grail: "It's been a blast; may the force be with you, and part on dudes."
