Ever since handing my notice in nearly 4 weeks ago, coming into work has been a frankly odd experience. People think twice before assigning me a task, I don't get invited to meetings, I'm "out of the loop" on any customer issues. Some clients have been informed of my impending departure, others won't be informed for a couple of months, to avoid any contractual concerns. I've found myself with plenty of free time, which I hate. I come to work to be busy, at home I've got 101 things to do every evening, so I loathe the prospect of twiddling my thumbs during the few hours of daylight that we get.
I have next week off, between jobs, and the time shouldn't hang heavy on my hands. My to-do list reads something like:
- Move into my flat
- Get the boiler working
- Repaint the woodwork outside and mow the lawn
- Buy a sofa, dining table, TV, and chairs
- Buy the other odds and ends that I'll need
- Get the phone and broadband set up
- Build my new PC from the bits that arrived last week (and I still haven't unwrapped)
- Play the "Orange Box" Half-life set
- Play 5 games of bowls
- Have a day in London
- Brush up on CSS and Mach II
- Have lunch with various people in Brighton
- Relax (?)
If I get half of those things done, I'll be happy!
