Ben

Welcome along … TO MY FINAL BLOG!

Well, well, well, where to start! You have been with me since near the very beginning and have seen my adventure through the high’s and low’s as well as the ranks of Outokumpu Stainless. I must start by saying this has been an excellent experience for me and will hopefully aid me at University in my final year and help me along my chosen career path with the skills I have gained!! I hope everyone who is going on placement enjoys their time – but if you are not, do not be afraid to speak up and get your opinion across!!

I have been very busy here at work, I am currently sat in the office on my own and have mounds of paperwork piling up(which I am unsure how to complete!!) Due to my lack of experience of being a nester, people keep coming in and asking me questions which I do not know the answers too, therefore angering them as they cannot do any work but also angering myself as I do not know the answer!!! It is also absolutely thrashing it down outside and we may possibly experience a repeat of the Sheffield floods!!

Drunken Leaving Do

So, I have had my leaving do and it was quite a good turn out to my surprise. I thought not many people liked me haha!! I got a lot of drinks bought for me and had a good drunken time. I dragged one of my good friends out so I could crash at theirs and not my Manager’s, as I did not want a repeat of last time!! But thank almighty, I was not as bad, just a headache on this occasion. I think i must have ate something that didn’t agree with me last time!!

At the moment I don’t think I will miss working as I am sick of all the early mornings, but I think I will once I return from ZANTE!! Where I will be flying to in four days time. I don’t think I will know what to do with all my free time and I will definitely miss all the people I work with, as I have made some very good friends during my time here.

I am struggling with things to say as it is my final blog, I think i should probably say something productive instead of blabbering on like normal. I will miss writing my blog as I have never participated in anything like this. Sometimes it has been good to get things off of my chest by expressing myself in this blog. I hope the new recruits can also make use of this function like I have!!

Overall I have had a good time on placement and I hope all of you guys get to enjoy the same kind of experiences!! I have also enjoyed writing my blog and keeping you up to date with my goings on. So this is the last blog and I am sad that I will probably not be writing another, but never say never!! So I am off to ZANTE!!

Bye Bye,

Farewell,

Good luck!
