Leavin'

So the John Denver song about leaving on a jet plane has been going round in my head for the last few days. At random moments; sitting at my desk, walking around the office, or indeed in the middle of the street while walking to or from work I will burst into impromptu and unrequested serenade of those around me with the only 3 lines of the John Denver song about flying that I know:

I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh god I do do do do do
So I'm leavin' on a jet plane...


and so on. Suffice to say that soon I am indeed leaving on a jet plane (the trip to Australia) and I am excited like a 5 year old chewing a worm.

Tomorrow is my last day at work. I'm going through my files at the moment wondering how in just over a year here I have collected the largest amount of crap you have ever seen.
We'll be moving out of the apartment, and therefore out of Dublin at the end of next week. Recently I had become to dislike Dublin greatly. I've lived here for 4 years since graduating and I was thinking it was time for a change of scenery. Although now as time draws closer I am feeling a little emotional. I think I'll miss the people I know here more than anything else.

Last night I met a bunch of friends for a farewell dinner and tonight my group at work are taking me out for a little farewell dinner. I'm looking forward to that. They're a good bunch and we should have a laugh. then tomorrow evening I will proceed to get LASHED in the local pub.
It's all the goodbyes and farewells that will be tough (I'm a highly strung and emotional person, I will cry at the drop of hat). But I don't think it's really goodbye (yes I'm about to get corny), cos I'll be back in four months and I gonna be buggin gall my friends for a place to stay ;-)
