Today was my last day working for IBM. I handed back my hardware (laptop, mobile phone) today and walked away. How do I feel (after two beers, an ostrich steak and half a bottle of cava) about this? Good question. Relief is a good word. I have put that part of my life behind me and can move on. I will greatly miss the people – you know who you are – but not the job at all.

I am now looking forward. Forward to two days of relaxation in a spa hotel. They’ll need a crow bar when they massage my neck. After that? The national curriculum awaits.

Well, it is official. I have resigned from IBM. I bet that there hasn’t been a resignation email in IBM titled “pothos” before. Or one that mentioned the troops of Alexander the Great. So, I am returning to teaching and waving good bye to life as an IT consultant. I will miss the people but not the job. I’m happy to be returning to teaching and just hope that it lives up to my “gass is always greener” expectations. Working 20 minutes from home and guaranteed to always being in my own bed are huge benefits. And there is even the chance that I will really enjoy it!
