Had a "Sorry you're leaving" card shoved under my nose by a morale Nazi this morning, don't really know the person leaving so I'm not particularly "sorry" but under the threat of an over enthusiastic smile and ball point pen I opened it.
The usual "good luck"s and the odd in-joke, you know the sort, "next time use the cat-flap! LOL!" or whatever.
I toy with the idea of writing "I don't know who you are but if your leaving is detrimental to my work load at all then I am indeed sorry - Adam x" I didn't write that, I thought that it would take up an excessive amount of space considering I didn't know them.
The alternative of course was to draw on the least used of the constantly recycled "wishes" I went with "all the best - Adam" no kiss, don't want her to get the wrong idea do I.
All the best, I'm sure she'll shed a tear over that one. Do I actually wish her all the best? I mean call me selfish but I'd much prefer "the best" for myself and people I actually know.
Oh well, too late now, I've written it and it was in ball point pen, I'd have to scribble it out and that would seem callous, would tipp-ex be callous? No forget it, then I'd have to think of something else to write and I've already invested too much into this stranger's card.
I've handed the card back and I'm left thinking if her life is filled with "all the best" what is left for the rest of us? If it is she had better find me out and thank me, she owes me big time.
