Winding Down

I had my last day at work today, and the final half hour was great. Because I basically work in a hive of super-friendly middle-age women, and half an hour before my shift ended they started congregating around my desk and swapping stories. They all involved their post-graduate lives... Their first jobs... Their husband's first jobs... Interview advice... Embarrassing secrets about co-workers. And then the clock stuck five and they hugged me and let me go with the best of wishes. It makes me wish I could always have middle-aged women gossiping around me.
