Handing in your notice is a lovely feeling, isn't it?

[Burney]

Very liberating. Also, one's notice period (assuming it's not too long) is always a reasonably fun time, since one is to some extent freed from the requirement to pretend to like certain people or care what they think.

Are you on the move, old chap? A new and exciting adventure?

Well, newish. Back to the old place but in a more senior role.

Only ever done it once, 2002. Felt quite nervous from memory.

Once you have made up your mind to seek alternative employment, you have effectively left your current place and should feel the same imo. Unless you are some kind of insecure jellyfish.

And when you've handed your notice in you stop 'working' as such and become merely a handover conduit.

Congrats, b, btw

Your mum's a handover conduit.

Cheers, iufg :-)

A predictably meteoric rise, I think we can all agree.

Listen pal, just stop now.

:hehe: It means I shall be working with R again, of course. I gave her the heads up about it last week. She laughed. :-)

Oh, that old place. My word! There's a turn up. Will it be a bit of a commute?

[Burney]

It will, but it's worth it and I should be able to work from home reasonably often once I've got settled.

Congratulation!
I imagine handing in that notice has put a spring in your step
Have you been humming The Sun Has Got His Hat On ?
4 weeks

Indeed. It's particularly gratifying as they thought I was on three months' notice and the revelation that I was actually only on a month's and that they are now looking down the barrel of producing an awful lot of editorial pages in the month after I leave without an editor to plan, write or commission them has caused no small degree of utter fücking panic. :hehe:

Really - I've always found when the big boss is out of town then that is the most productive time, they just come back and change every****ingthing because they can. Sure you weren't like that of course, b ;)

No. Although my next role is as an editorial director, so - given that I've always loathed and resented editorial directors interfering with my business - I have to assume that every editor in my new place will fücking hate me. :hehe:
