Freedom!
I am done, over and out, adios amigos, no more work at Hell Hole for this Ramblin' Madman!
Surprised myself at the amount of work I put in today... thing is - it was easy to do it, because whatever I did I could think; Hey, this is the last time I ever have to do this crap!
Before lunch today, my mom showed up at the place. She's been wanting this computer desk that we sell for quite some time, and I had told her she should come in and look at it before I buy it for her. She got to see a little of what I go through on an everyday basis over there.
I was called on several times during the short time she was there, because the others needed help, and didn't know how to do things. My mother couldn't understand why they'd let me go, and was asking me how they were going to cope without me... haha!
At lunch today... I went to Hollywood. Sounds awesome right. It was - but it wasn't very far. My favorite Pizza joint (same place I went to yesterday) is called just that - Hollywood. I got me a nice steak with some home fries today, instead of the pizza. It was absolutely deeee-lish! It's like they knew I "deserved" something special today.
Also, at lunch, all but one of my co-workers ambushed me in the breakroom, and presented a potted plant and a bottle of whiskey - as a farewell gift.
That's what four years at the place was worth ;)
Honestly - it was nice. I really didn't think they would have bought me anything. Just a pat on the back and "good luck" would have sufficed. This was nice - especially that plant. Precisely the kind of thing I want in my home. The whiskey will be drunk, and probably mess me up good.
I also got a cake, and 15 minutes later in the day to sit down with a cup of java and eat it... it was a "semla" cake. That thing was delicious too!
All in all - it was quite a pleasant day at work. Surely so because I knew it was the last day I would ever do at the place - so there was no frustration going on. Something didn't go right... what do I care? Right? Right!
So - time to celebrate!
What better way to celebrate than with a cold beer, and some really good party music? And, because of that - I present to you what I think is the ultimate party song of all time. Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" is one of those songs that gets me in a good mood every single time I hear it.
The intro guitar riff is a classic that will never ever die. It just grabs you immediately and lets you know it's time to party hardy!
That's Rock'n'Roll for you!
