I had a meeting today with employee relations regarding my impending redundancy. I was expecting to be told that my 3 months notice was to start on Friday, all ready to tell him where to stick his on call commitment for the rest of the week. Instead I was told that no-one had requested my notice period to start and if I wanted to I could pick my date to finish. As things are still up in the air on the NZ front, I will leave it for now and get paid for a few more weeks.
Meanwhile OH asked me to get some nice writing paper so that she could put in her resignation letter (has to be in before half term). I explained that there was some perfectly good paper in the loo but she didn't feel that was appropriate.
Still no confirmation letter from nzqa, hopefully tomorrow the postman will deliver.

I am feeling this same way this week - ready to tell my employer to shove off and OH is in the same boat. Doing so for us would be foolish as things are still way, way up in the air. ;) We're ready to go but having to wait on the paperwork is maddening.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that postman brings good news for you.

My last day at work here is a week from tomorrow.:clap

Turning in the resignation has been one of the most liberating things I've done in years. It feels like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

I don't recall the exact Henry Miller quote from Tropic of Cancer... somthing to the effect "I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive." :cheers

Now those blue stickers better come through, 'cause I don't want to start working on plan B!!:eek:

Yes I remember this well, I knew for a few months that I would be handing my notice in, and everytime I had a bad day - I wanted to Jack there and then - but your CV looks much better without large gaps, so its better for that and your savings to zip-it and count to 10, with the perverse pleasure of looking forward/visioning how you will say it;)

Hope all goes well for you:nice1

Handing in my resignation was one of my favourite moments of the whole emigration process. After 8 months of job uncertainty in the NHS, to hand in a letter saying I was going to NZ was GREAT. Then I was at liberty to contact local MPs etc to let them know the real truth about what was going on in Cornwall in the NHS.

Hi Sam

Know excately what you mean!!! You weren't by chance working in the LD field in Cornwall were you? I was an LD nurse in Plymouth for the NHS and things weren't great there either..........!!!

I was a speech and language therapist working for Sure Start in Camborne. But I reckon it was pretty bad for everyone in the NHS. So glad to be out of all that politics now.
