As the days move closer to our move to Sweden, I only get the usual questions like
‘Have you started packing’?
‘Do the kids know that they are moving?’
‘When is your last day in the office?’
‘How is Nicke and does he like it there?’
Once, I got the ‘Why are you still here in the office?’ since Nicke has already gone to Sweden.
But the amazing thing is that.. I also realised that quite a few people do not know that we are together. Nicke and I work in the same marketing department and he sat in the next row in the office for the past 2 years. Which makes me wonder if I have been hiding our relationship too well. Some people only just found out recently as they query why I should be included in Nicke’s farewell outings. Today, in the lift, as I was telling a colleague from the same department, that I have been busy planning the move to Sweden. She mentioned that i can ‘hook up with Nicke when I am there’.
I guess I should take consolation that no-one talks about us in the office.
