Yesterday (Friday) was my last day at GSK.
In fact, my line manager, the person who interviewed me in, assigned me works and looked after me, wasn’t in. He had gone for a conference in Istanbul for the whole week. However his colleagues (well technically my colleagues too) took me out to a lovely pub and treated me a nice lunch (and I was stuffed =) ). I was, undoubtedly, very impressed. Those were 8 weeks of an unforgettable experience.

What I actually want to tell is, they know that I’m a physicist, I’m from Cambridge and my work was programming-related. These may take an important role when they were finding me a leaving work gift.

I was given two books, one from all other colleagues, and one from my line manager. Here is the first one.

Haven’t read it, but it’s definitely something scientific. Could be a good read.

Right, this is the second one, from my line manager, who supposedly knows me better than others.

Umm, well, you are not telling me I’m a geek, are you?

The book catches my attention though, I’ve read a couple pages. Basically, they are all bout selected science-related places all over the world. The format is, the background info on a place, some related theories, equations and a little visitor.
I found many places I even never heard of, they are not just science museums. Though, I know almost all theories and technical stuffs in the book. Still, I swear, I’m not that geeky. Please don’t call me geek after all.

Oh, one more thing. I’m flying back home on Monday, so I got to temporarily stop watching Air Crash Investigation otherwise I might freak out on the plane.
