Last Frontier?

The gals turned on a lavish and very successful farewell morning tea for me this morning. Lots of people, gifts, cards and so many lovely things said about me. I tried to lap up all the feteing and you-are-greating. It's a bit overwhelming though.

 

Things I'm gonna miss #5

My academics

I can’t say too much as several have agreed to be a referee for me.

Most are fabulous and so grateful for everything I do for them. There’s been a couple of difficult ones but only one absolute horror.

My favourite is Macho Man – so non-politically correct – how does he get away with it?

My students

Over the years so many. Hundreds, maybe thousands. The last one was, predictably, my most recent high maintenance OUA marketing student. 

My library colleagues

Staff at other campuses but mostly those at Lilydale whom I have worked closely with for so long. It’s hard to believe I won’t see them every working day.

I had an early birthday celebration last week and a farewell lunch at Mitchell’s View Restaurant today.  It was the usual absolute debacle and it’s one place I certainly will not miss.

Tomorrow’s my last day and a farewell morning tea. I am certainly getting a good send-off.
