Atmosphere

There is an atmosphere in the office that you could cut with a knife, probably partly because some people know I'm about to leave my current position (still no official offer from HR yet so I can't even discuss it! :( ) but also because one of the ladies who's on a temporary contract has applied for a permanent position within the department and has just found out that it's going to go to an external applicant...

Fat-boy-teacher's-pet knows I'm going - I didn't tell him, but he's obviously found out from his little mistress, who still hasn't congratulated me on my new role. At the end of the day, she will have to do a lot more work as I covered for her when she was off sick, on holiday or when her kids were sick and she had to stay in to look after them. During those times, it was expected of me to just absorb the extra work, and looking back,I was never thanked but hey, I just got on with it, cos I could.

Anyway, will be nice to know when I actually leave to start my new job - already getting copied in on emails about it, yet I can't do anything yet!
