I'm actually not hungover today, although that's not through lack of trying! Last night we celebrated my final day of full-time work with Coastline Newspapers. I started work with this newspaper group in February 2008. It's been an interesting year-and-a-bit, full of the highs and lows common to jobs in media and advertising, where there are always deadlines looming and not enough hours in the day.
On Monday morning I won't have to don my smart clothes and totter up the gang-plank in high heels. I won't have to drive at 110km/p/h through the sugarcane fields to make it to my desk by 8.30.
Despite this it's not really goodbye. I will still be writing the odd feature for Coastline's publications, just working from my floating home instead. So if you're heading to Bundaberg pick up a copy of the Bundy Book. If you're on the road in Queensland look out for the Tourist Queensland. Or if you live in one of Queensland's mining towns pick up the next Coalfields Express.
