Many things have happened in the past week. The confirmation of the termination of my employment was the biggest thing. I had a chat with my boss on Wednesday, and made the final deal with HR on Thursday. Yesterday was my last day.

After the meeting in which that decision was made, I sprinted off to the ferry, en route to the home town of a special girl. I have to say that I was not the most excited person in the car; Sheena and Jessie were heading home for Easter, while I was being dragged to a tiny, backwater burg to 'meet the parents'!

As with anything, first impressions are key, and the first words uttered to me by Sheena's father only underscored the point: "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR??". With that out of the way, I knew things could only get better.

I have to admit, that not only was it NOT the grueling or nerve-wracking weekend that I had pictured as possibility. The town was not (exactly) a hole in the ground, and the parents I met (2 sets) were fun and easy-going. The area was phenominally beautiful and the hiking and hotsprings were likewise amazing - the hotsprings after the hike especially so.

So all-in-all, a good, relaxing weekend, followed by one single day of work, and now ...

What?

Guess I had better get out of blogland, and into some job-hunting clothes. The future is out there wandering around looking for me - I had best get out to meet it!
