In my head

Sitting on the train, heading home, i notice that every man 'around me seems to be on some techo gadget..to my left is a blackberry, my right a 'psp', opposite me, an mda and further down the row, more blackberries!(plural?)

So as not to feel left out, I also pull out my mda and started to type this..If you can't beat them, join them! :-)

Its my last week at my current job and I've kept quiet about my impending flight from d nest..finally let the cat out the bag today and I've been bombarded by the questions and gasps and everything that comes with goodbyes.. Its bittersweet the feelings coming over me as the week draws to an end.. Its been an interestin two and a half years..I have met and worked with people of diverse mentalities n cultures, forged friendships, also had my share of work flirts, green lights and relationships ;-) but its time to move on. I have been a manager in a fashion store and its been a hell of a ride having to deal with a staff strength of 120 people! Started from scratch almost 3 years ago and worked my way up..(another story for another day), it sure was great fun but the issues i've had to deal with have almost overwhelmed me. Sometimes i felt like a school headmaster, having to deal with unruly children, sometimes a big brother, listening to moans and settling disagreements, telling off and encouragments..

I also get a fair share of female attention and i seem to be a topic of discussion almost daily, 'someone saw the boss leaving my flat at 7am in the morning', (so not true) 'some staff is pregnant with my baby',(how?!!) 'i'm sleeping with so and so' (yeah, whatever!) stopped giving a sh*t about the stories, found them very amusing infact!

So as the week draws to a close, i begin to empty my locker, say my farewells, prepare myself for my next challenge and life ahead..i look forward to Saturday, 3:30pm when i drop my keys and take a bow!

Did you say fashion store?? Do you at least still have employee discount? or the "hook up"
