My letter of confirmation of the job came from the doctors yesterday so I handed my notice in first thing this morning.
I gave a months notice, as per my contract, but asked if they would consider releasing me early. I gave it to the office manager who was really nice about it (makes a change as she's usually a cow) and she said that she would ring Sally (the boss) to ask what sort of date I could finish.
After 10 minutes she called me back through and said that as it wasn't busy at the moment Sally said I could finish immediately. Either at the end of today or immediately - properly immediately, there and then. I was rather stunned but I opted for there and then!
So I said my goodbyes, gathered my belongings and left. All over and done with by 9.30am.
I've rung the practice manager and I start on Tuesday!
