So, this is my last week of work. Well, not THE last week before I leave on the rtw, just the last week of work here in Chicago and then it's off to GA for the summer to get a temp job.

I'm so bored here I could scream. I've already trained my replacement so she is actually doing my job this week so I can look over her work to make sure she understands it (it really isn't hard AT ALL).

I took my last available personal day yesterday so it isn't even a full week.

Just have to make it through this week then make it until December.

Congrats!

Congrats.

Pushing off on a new adventure is always a great thing!

Congrats! i am jealous!

Things to do while your replacement is doing all the work and you have nothing to do...

1. Eat Mandarins (or any other fruit with decent sized pips) and flick seeds at newbie (newbie must have sense of humour for this one to work).

2. Rediscover Origami.

3. Shuffle paperwork so that newbie has to put them back in order.

4. Do rounds of the office every hour asking if they want tea / coffee / bikkies / me...

5. Show newbie how to enter data into a file, then delete it all so that they have to do it all over again while repeating the mantra "Practice makes Perfect". Best done with a chore that takes at least 3 hours to do.

6. Take tweezers, nail file, nail scissors, buffer, nail polishes and nail polish remover to work. Offer manicures and eyebrow management to everyone at bargain prices while they work.

7. Give the office kitchenette a spring clean - including giving mugs a soak in bi-carb and going overboard with the bleach.

8. Lace the sugar container with a powdered laxative because anyone who needs sweetening up deserves it - sour sods! (I think I might be getting a bit personal there, but idea stays anyway - can be modified to suit individual situations)

9. Put multiple staples into an eraser to create pretty patterns, or into paper to make a picture.

Congrats! Thats so exciting!

The last week of work can be ridiculously slow. After I put in my two weeks, I took a week vacation, and then came back to my office where I had NOTHING to do. Working in sales, most of my deals were either done or pending, and there was no need for me to get any new leads..

So... I just hung out. Read a lot of blogs. Messaged my co-workers with inane comments. Doodled. Took longer than necessary lunch breaks. Cleaned my desk (for an entire DAY!) etc. You get the picture - I was useless.

Anywho, goodluck! Your almost free!

Great June Bug. My last day at this job is Friday and the guy I am training is coming in tomorrow for his training. Two days to train a new manager. This is going to be fun.

Congrats, you must be soooo excited!!!

Just relax and chill out this week...teach your replacement as much as you can and don't burn your bridges, you never know when you might need them for something!!

Well, today was my last day! I'm so excited that another milestone has been reached but I will miss that place. After working there for 6 years I got to know them all really well...for the most part. But it was definitly time to move on.

Yay me!! 7 1/2 months to go!!
