Entry for January 11, 2008

This is the first time I have been able to blog in 3 days; I tried on the 1oth, and it saved and went away, where we will never know

My last 3 days at work have been hectic, and although not a lot of people came to the say goodbye party, our whole team went to lunch yesterday. Today after lunch they gave me a bag of goodies i will need on my new job- a laser pointer, giant postit note pad, a desk calendar with note space label"Goofy Idea of the Day", and a gift certificate to go shopping for clothes.

I was all ready to leave at 2:30, and then my boss said she would be right back and 2 hours later she showed up, so she could sign off that I had turned in everything-blackberry(yay!), keys, ID keycard, parking permit, etc.

I had wanted to go to the new place just to check around where things are, but guess that has to wait now...which is OK. i am having a stress free weekend.....for once.

At the lunch I asked our coworker who had retired last month how she liked it, she smiled and said she gets a lot more sleep now, no more tossing and turning worrying. She handled a lot of project documentation, and did a lot of code review work to ensure the applications were being done according to standards, so nnow having to only worry about what flavor of coffee to make in the morning seems to agree with her.
