Last day at the office tomorrow...

Tomorrow is my last day at work. Then I take two weeks of holidays, then I start my new job, which I am quite excited about. Unlike my old school jobs from a few years ago, I do not feel bitter about losing this one, even though it was caused by redundancy. Seven years ago, when I learned that I was going to get it, I was both anxious and happy: it was going to be a decent income after a string of badly paid work, and it was leading to permanence after two years of contractual and often part-time jobs. And, even though redundancy is a form of dismissal, it's not like I'm getting fired. I am parting with my current employer in good terms, working there gave me experience and skills which I can transfer and which actually impressed my new employers enough to give me the position almost straight away. So I will be a bit nostalgic tomorrow, but also grateful for the time there.
