I was a bit nervous about coming into work today, expecting to get a load of grief from Manager Blokey but yay! He's out all day at a meeting. *sniggers* Pity it's not all week but that's too much to hope for.

Typed up my letter of resignation, informed Kate the Auditor (who was really sweet and concerned that I've not got anything to go to) and that's that. My leavers form has been sent already - I was mildly amused to note that in the section asking "Would you re-employ?" Manager Blokey has said "No". Aww, think I've hurt his feelings, bless 'im.....

And while I will miss various people, and while I'm nervous about just walking away, the one abiding feeling I have is still of total relief.

Agencys were very positive but they always are when you first see 'em. I plan to harrass them on a regular basis for work. Reed have already submitted my CV for a job that's not dissimilar to this one but, as far as I can tell, it's not shop retail but business retail, so probably Mon-Friday with regular hours. I hope. Sounds a good job and it will pay slightly more than this one so I hope I at least get an interview because that would be very encouraging :)

*yawns* Dead quiet day. I had all my major chores done by 10.30am. There's only 2 sales weasels in....I do hope they don't plan to leave one sales weasel all on his own this evening. Mind you, I'm up for the overtime if they agree it but I want it authorised. It's not as if I'll still be with the company to kick up a fuss if I don't get the extra pay.

Definitely phone agencies regularly, it's not harassing them it's how they work. When I was using agencies I used to phone them twice a day, once around 10ish and once after lunch. It keeps your name at the top of their list and means they know you're definitely available and looking. Good luck!

I used to work for Reed, they were really good and I never had any problems with them. Very businesslike and well-organised. But I agree with the phoning regularly thing, if not quite twice a day.

I did indeedy harass Reed today and found out that I've been submitted for two jobs and not just one, so that's good :)

They do seem very competent I must say, unlike some agencies I could mention.

Thanks for the good wishes :)
