Last days at work

Yesterday I took home the last of my personal effects from my soon-to-be-ex employer -- my keyboard. It is a twenty-year-old IBM Model M that's seen me through four different jobs spanning fourteen years.

I'd already removed my other personal effects -- my stacking russian dolls of Bill Clinton and his women, poster prints of my photography, and my timeless 'Is it good for the company?' banner with the 'I (heart) Hooters' sticker affixed inconspiciously. There's a few stories there, naturally.

Yesterday I also revoked my work-related GPG and SSH keys, and removed my access priviliges from various internal systems that I (used to) control. No more access to source code and ticketing.

Today I remove my work account from my phone and IM clients. I'll leave the rest the IT "department", mostly to see if they have a comprehensive checklist.

I've tried to wrap up all my active projects, with varying degrees of success. All current clients have been notified, "final" software releases sent out, and the state of everything I can think of is documented.

So today, I find myself without much to get done. I'd assumed that I'd be kept busy with exit interviews and last-minute knowledge transfer, but so far, I don't have an agenda for the day.

And so it ges.

(Oh, I know I'm a week behind on photos, but needless to say, I've been busy)
