AcornHusk of Shadow

[ismo]

Well . . . I'm glad this day is over. It was the Sparrowhawk's official final day of employment. This afternoon, he went over to the office for the last time, chatted with a couple of people, and turned in his key and stuff. To add insult to injury, he came down with a bad cold yesterday. Tonight, we attended Evil Jay's Christmas party. The invitation said it would be an opportunity to "bid a fond farewell" to the Sparrowhawk, and to one other person who had the rug pulled out from under them in a similar manner. So the Sparrowhawk thought maybe there was something planned and he should go. I had to shake Suboptimal Ex-Boss's hand and be polite. He was clearly trying to act friendly, but I didn't let him pour me any wine. It may have been petty, but I do have my limits. Thank goodness for a few real friends who were there. God it was exhausting. We stayed for a couple of hours, but there was no toast or anything like that. The Sparrowhawk was losing his voice and his moxie, so we excused ourselves and left. No more corporate parties. I'm just glad to be home.

Thanks! And I couldn't agree more. It's a great relief to walk away.
