Being at your own funeral
I’ve always thought the leaving speeches people give when leaving our agency – when people gather round and your line manager talks about you – to be the closest thing to being at your own funeral. And the added bit of ‘here’s a selection of what people thought about x’ make it feel even more like a funeral. Almost expect someone to hang a wreath across my neck. It’ll be mine next week. Quite sad, but time to look forward. Experience-wise and people-wise, it’ll be a hard task for any workplace to live up to the last 2 years I’ve had here.
