I made the RCS News …. (looking back over 36 years in one job )
Well, after all the waiting and the counting down, the dawn broke on my last day as a librarian. A retirement send-off party was organised for me. Many kind and appreciative comments have been made, and I am very grateful. I’ve definitely got thank you’s to be written! It’s been lovely to learn that my efforts have been appreciated. I’m a bit overwhelmed, to be honest!
Did I shed a tear? No, actually. I had a hankie handy, but I didn’t need it. I knew this day was coming, and I’m ready for my next chapter as a semi-retired post doctoral research fellow. After a long and lazy weekend …
The image? My final stitched countdown square. I’ve done one a week for the past three years, and I finally reached zero! Flowers or fireworks, as you will!
