I finish on my show tomorrow. Then at last I get to move onto a project that is really going to challenge me and make my mind tick. I can't wait.
However I am going to miss my current team. I have grown very attached to them over the past few months and even though I know they will only be across the room we won't all be sitting together, laughing together and generally playing the fool together.
I will keep some fond memories of them though.
Series Producer
I will miss all of her emails. And I seriously mean ALL of them. I get into work in the morning and there are already about 20 emails from this woman. She CC's you in on EVERYTHING and you have to read it in case she is actually asking you to do anything. I got caught out on that a couple of times. Recently I've taken to using the "find on this page" button and search for my name - that usually helps and stops me having to actually read everything. But I'll still miss her.
Fellow Co-ordinator
I'm going to miss how we spoke every single day on the phone about 15 times a day. She was based up north and I was in the office. We literally were on the phone to each other every 30 minutes or so. If we didn't talk it was judged to be the end of the world. However she does have this annoying habit of saying "MAZERS" in this high pitched voice which I am not going to miss.
Production Manager
I'm just going to miss him. He says the funniest things and is so laid back and chilled. He told us once how when he was a kid he'd dress up in girls clothing and make people call him Sarah. Yes, he turned out gay. What were the chances?
Researchers 1 & 2
To be honest with you I'm not going to miss them that much. But there are some things I'll miss I guess. Researcher's 2 annoying voice I won't but I'll miss how she lent me that £5 and now seems to have forgotten about it. Oh wait, I won't miss that cause then she'll remember! Researcher 1 I guess I'll miss because every so often she lets down her hard facade and is genuinely quite nice. When she smiles I like her.
I'm not going to miss the Story Producer. He's weird and I don't like him. And German.
And we all know how I LOVE the Germans (Lopz and Fligela you can stop laughing now)

The end is nigh

And you are ??
I ran into an old work colleague today from when I first started out in TV. I was a runner at the Post Production Company she was working at.
To be completely honest with you I don't recognise her from a bar of soap but she seems to remember me so I'll just continue to pretend I remember her.
She said something that perturbed me slightly though.
Ex Colleague: When was it that you left (Post Production Company) ?
Miss M: Sometime in 2005 I think
Ex Colleague: There was a big scandal around you leaving wasn't there? I can't remember the specifics but there definitely was.
Miss M: Confused expression Scandal? I don't remember there being one? I just left for greener pastures.
Ex Colleague: Equally confused Really? I could swear that people talked about you leaving for ages afterwards. There must have been some sort of scandal!
So apparently like being unable to remember her I am also unable to remember the circumstances that had me leaving that particular company.
I am actually rather worried.
Is she confusing me with someone else or have I actually blocked out the memory of leaving the company.
I remember leaving.
I remember walking out of the door and saying goodbye.
But I can't remember why.
I really actually can't.
Was there some big scandal? Did I get fired? What happened?!
I kind of hope I did. That would be sort of cool.
Perhaps I tried to rob them? Or maybe I was busted selling company secrets to a rival Post Production House.
Or maybe, JUST MAYBE, she is getting me confused with someone else. Which would explain why I can't remember her.
