Today was my last day at ConvaTec (well, Saturday technically is but nyeh) and as I broach the door of the building I am immediately stopped by the receptionist who says “Are you (dramatic pause) Terry?”, “yes” I said.  Man sitting in chair “they told me you would come to help!” WTF.  Everyone else was [...]
