After handing in my notice at work i told my colleagues today that i was going to be leaving. The reaction was mixed to say the least, but it was at least positive throughout. Most of the guys were really stoked for me, chuffed i was making the break when i could and getting out there. Many said that they wished they had done something similar when they could, before life became committed and confusing. So far i only told one of the girls as most were not in today but Dawn said she would be really sad to see me go. I've always loved Dawn, totally like a cool aunty who you can have a right laugh with blaming my loud farts on in the staffroom, listen to stories of juvenile partying, but is also there looking out for me at all times, i shall definitely miss Dawn. In fact i will miss everyone at work. Like any workplace, it is not perfect and not without some issues, but in my opinion they are in the minority and it has provided me with an awesome two and a half years of fun times, allowed me to access some really great people and made me some very good friends.
A fair few of the guys have either visited NZ at some point or have family out there so i was bombarded with contacts and offers of houses to stay at and work to undertake when i arrive so I'm in no doubt now that this should be the best decision i ever make. I'd love to do some work in the outdoor industry out there so i can build me knowledge, experience and skills to be able to apply to future work, but i would also really like to try something completely new out there, get involved in some access and conservation work in some of the national parks out there, putting something back into a country that i think will give me far more than it can ever know.
