My leaving message:-
18 years, 2 months and 25 days. It doesn’t sound much if you say it quickly.
6657 days. After holidays and weekends, it ends up as about 4900 days. Or 34,300 hours. I think I even managed to do some work during these hours – or at least the impression of work. Most of it PICNIC related.
It is extremely hard to put into words how I feel about this company. The English language (as taught in Grammar Schools) is expansive and more than adequate for most situations. But not this one. The pleasures and pains I have had whilst here would leave the most fervent Sado-Masochist an open-mouthed drooling wreck.
The memories can never be erased and nor would I wish them to be. From the great people I have worked with (The wonderful Robin T, Mary O’H, Andy Harris, the two Steve’s (D & G), Dee, Debs, Chris J, Jason L, Paul “Yoda” Richards, Martin Ball, the Burbs, the mad Welsher Chris Davis and the mad Howard Agard, to name but a few) to the ever changing business – record New Business, then record default (1991) to …erm…record New Business, then record default (2008)…it has been a journey that I was glad to be on. I have gained wisdom and lost some hair (although not as much some, eh Mr Harris...?).
The NBS bunch also have some good eggs – Mr Clueless, Colin, Debs, the two Ian Welshers - Williams and Taylor -(look you, Boyos), Peter B, Judith, Matt, Christine, Pamela – the list is long and I’m starting to sound like an Oscar winner, thanking all and sundry, so I’ll stop now. Suffice it to say that all the aforementioned, and loads others, have made daily life at UCBHL better and more fun. Despite their IT systems…
Anyhoo…enough of my ramblings…I wish each and every one of you all the very best for the future; you will realise your true worth once outside these doors as having this company on your CVs is a valuable commodity.
