The Countdown has Begun!

It is now officially less than two weeks until I begin my new job, and I feel like I haven’t accomplished much in the way of tying up loose ends yet. I still have yet to clear out the 100+ emails in my inbox, my desk is still a mess, and there are at least 3 unread issues of my favorite German-language journal, Stern, sitting beside me.

On the plus side, I did show my supervisor how to print out one of the reports that I took upon myself to do every week. I suppose that’s the downside to hoarding a task—when you leave, no one else knows how to do it!

I should really just buckle down and sort through the years of stuff I’ve amassed at my desk—it’s just easy to get overwhelmed when you aren’t sure where to start!

Getting a new job will always give you this mess around.
I’m pity having the same. I run the server here at work but if I leave tomorrow then none will know how to add new accounts, update, reboot or solve problems onto this gray box.

In comment on the german.. the language has a lot in common with mine but it’s heavier.

Technically only 1 more day of work till I start my new job :-)

“Non”-technically, still about 2 months left …

Oooh I didn’t know you ran the servers, Sofie. That’s very cool. :) And yes, I have noticed the similarities between your language and German. I can’t really understand it when spoken—but if I see it written, I can often see that many words resemble those in German.

Oh and how exciting Leonieke! Are you excited? I’m sure you’re going to love your new position! :)
