End of the "big" week
Well, it's the end of a very long, very interesting week for me at work. Never have I really quite felt like I have this week - in a kind of limbo with work. The last job I left (which was Hyro, just over 4 years ago), I honestly couldn't give a shit for the organisation, the clients or any of the people there (with the exception of Darren). So that was just going through the motions to get to an end date. Before that was Wijojo, which was a self-initiated winding up of the company, and a different situation. Right now at SDM though, I still exist and am employed by a company I loved (and still have strong feelings for). I guess it's like still living with a long-time girlfriend you've just broken up with. You still have to share the house, do the cooking, watch the one TV together, but there's an unsaid "you don't love me anymore and we both want out!" going on. I'm still doing some quite important stuff, and have a bit of stuff to handover, but I'm also sometimes at a loss at what to do next. I find myself questioning every thing I'm doing, thinking whether I need to involve someone else in this exercise (whereas normally I'd just get on and do it). It's very weird. From the looks of things, I have one more week of it (finishing up next Friday) and then 2 weeks on leave before starting my new job.
I'm listening to the most appropriate music I could find; At the Drive-In's "Relationship of Command" album (what a great album)

"..it is certainly not constructive..to start openly and publicly bagging their current and your ex employer. It essentially says to them "I'm better than you for leaving" - it's ugly and is a sure fire way to lose friends and piss off future referees, employers and business partners quickly.."
Precisely.
True, but that was over four years ago, and from my understanding the business that my last employer was then and is now are two completely different businesses. I'm actually pretty sure that no-one still works at that business now as when I did four years ago. And the difference was that I didn't, whilst on the way out, lay the boot into them.
Glad you read my blog with such scrutiny though and take the time to comment :)
