This week marked the end of an era for both Jason and Jakob. Jason finished up working at the university after 19 years and Jakob finished up at KFC after 4 years....
Jason has received a redundancy and doesn't officially finish until the 3rd of April, but with a little bit of holiday owing he finished up on Wednesday. I know he is sad to leave the place that he has worked at since completing his university studies, but as he said 'it's time to move on'. It will seem a little odd to be out there studying this year and not be able to just pop into his office and see him :(
He received lots of well wishes and gifts this week, and says he felt a little emotionally drained with saying good bye to work peers, friends and packing up his office. So now he is looking for new employment..... anyone after a senior analyst programmer??

| A mug that his work peers had done for him, with a screen caption of the student record system that he worked on tirelessly |

| Cards from Launceston and Hobart work peers |
 |
| Lots of thoughtful well wishes.... |
Jakob completed his last shift last night at 11:30pm so that he has 1 week free before he departs on his mission on the 1st of April. Being a cook out the back of KFC can be a pretty grotty and tiring job, and although he didn't like it at first he diligently applied himself and came to enjoy his shifts there. ...

| He wasn't too dirty last night when he came home, sometimes he is coated in those secret herbs and spices that KFC use on their chicken!! |
