with a whimper

[jaeclectic]

So formally it was my last day at Sun, at least last day of full-time work, and last day participating in most of the projects that I've been working on. And as such the whole week has been full of goodbyes, but especially today.

On the other hand, I still have a couple days worth of work for next week, a small PO that X opened, just for me to do one more forum metrics report. Which is great, because it pretty much puts my income up to the break-even point for the month.

But it is kind of weird not to be making a clean break.

The forums team took me out to lunch earlier in the week, and I thought some other folks might take me out for a drink after work tonight, but that didn't happen. Probably just as well since I would just get too emotional, but it just feels anti-climactic. I definitely want a drink tonight, it would be nicer if it wasn't drinking alone.

Oh, and E sent a tremendously flattering email to a huge internal distribution list, including various managers, saying what a great loss it was to Sun etc etc. And R sent a follow-up seconding it. This may please me more later, right now I just feel kind of numb.

Butt, there are opportunities wherever you go, and if you go somewhere else, it will be different... er' or whatever!
