Tales and Quotes of Alice

So I have finally left my job, no more morning dirty talk, or endless games of would you rather. Obviously I was never going to leave quietly, and I left my leaving email in the capable hands of my friends the Wombat. After previously leaving this role once before to finish my final year at Uni, I know that she has been keeping note of all the stupid things I say or do, (this happens a lot). Please bare in mind this was sent to about 70 people including managers.

I thought I would share both parts with you. The first lot is from my placement year, and second from this time round....hope you enjoy.
