Jabs and Needles
Things all seem to be moving on in my preparation for going away. I’m now one injection (for rabies) away from being all jabbed up – feel like I’ve been spending more time in the surgery waiting room than I have at work; and I also know all the nurses by name!
I’ve now got an approximate leaving date, likely to be 14 Sept, it may change a few days either side of that, but that should be fairly fixed as all the volunteers for Ethiopia will be heading out on the same flight. So I’ll be leaving work a week or so before this. I gave my notice in last week (I have a 3 month notice period!!) which was actually a bit of an anti-climax; everyone at work knows I’m going anyway, so it really was just a formality.
I’ve started to look at getting my house rented out whilst I’m away, had a few property management agencies round to have a look, and a few more still to see before I try and make a decision as to who to go with. Going to be quite hard to make a decision I think as so far they seems much of a muchness (esp as I have no referrals/experiences from anyone else to go on). Quite a lot to get sorted out with the house still, and figuring out what to actually do with all my stuff – some of it may be appearing soon on the intranet noticeboard or on Northampton freecycle…
