Here I sit

But not for long. After 8 years, 6 months, and a few weeks I am going to be leaving this place tomorrow. Spent the afternoon packing up all my personal stuff, got to come in tomorrow morning for an exit interview, and then down the pub at lunchtime to indulge those who think they shall miss me. Most of those I shall miss have left over the years, moved on to other jobs, or died, the people in charge have changed and things have not changed for the better. I am very much ready to not be working here anymore. The biggest thing I shall miss, as I realised this morning, is taking my daughter to school. At the moment I am able to drop her off at 9 then get to work around half past. It has been that way since she started school around seven and a half years ago. Today was the last time I shall do that until I don't know when as I shall be leaving home around 7 in the morning from now on. None of this is interesting, but I have nothing else to do now. Not quite true, I'm still waiting for them to do the testing on the final bit of development I have done so it can go live. They're cutting it a bit fine.

Well if they don't get round to it for a few more days, you can fix it at contractor's rates! :laugh:

I understand you. I was in the same situation 1 1/2 years ago after being in the same place for exactly 10 years. And just like you seem to feel now, I did not have any regrets leaving the place as most of the people I cared about had already left and the company was getting more and more worse... ...I never looked back, and never regretted leaving. I wish you all the best, you close a chapter and open a new one. Cheers!

Their loss! And ... you're probably getting paid more to boot!
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Because you got to get earlier there, or because it is further away from home ?

Crap. Thought you were starting a little poem. Here I sit, broken hearted Tried to sh!t But only farted.
Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004
