A bed of roses

 Don't expect much from me during November - writing time is for actual writing this month!  I'm about 5k in; go me!!!

Thursday was the last day for my line manager and team manager and a lot of us from the department joined them for a drink.  I had the Halloween special - hot gin with mulled apple juice - which was very nice.  I gave them both a hug when I left.  The team manager called me 'love' and told me to stay in touch, which I will sort of, via LinkedIn.

After hugging my line manager he kept his hands on my waist and told me he'd really enjoyed working with me, which I thought I knew but it was nice to have it confirmed - but why wait until you're leaving and you've had several drinks?  I told him he was my favourite line manager more than once when I was sober!  But people are different, yadda yadda.  Anyway, then we had a final hug and I left.  We're friends on fb, now, so we can keep up to date that way.  He doesn't post much, though; I did notice a post from 3 years ago about how it was great to be back in Liverpool...

*sob*

Anyway, it's on with the brave new world, now...
