Would it be bad of me not to turn up for my last day tomorrow? It would leave everyone slightly underwhelmed, having expected the day to be at least a bit different. (It would be different, there would be more work for everyone to do.) I'm expecting to get a card, at least. Someone would be left with it, and no real idea of how to get it to me. That would make them feel a bit strange, they couldn't really throw it away, not immediately anyway. It'd probably sit in a drawer for a few months until they came across it, read the messages and put it in the bin. I told Susanna I'd go for a drink with her at lunchtime and have a game of pool. She'd be a bit pissed off that I wasn't there. Judith would be too. Even though the only time I've been in a pub with her was at Christmas Eve, and that was awkward, she would still prefer the uncomfortable ritual.
I will come in though. Much as I would love to avoid the toe-curling surprise presentation of a leaving card. (I'd better get one... Actually, it's just about possible that there's been a whip-round. Sweet Lord, what on Earth would they buy?) They'll probably want me to say something... "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking..."
Jeez.
