Lunch and Exit Interview

[tinhuvielartanis]

Well, lunch was a success. About 740 people showed up. Well, not that many, but it was quite a crowd! green_goblin70 commented that this was the largest group he'd ever seen for a farewell luncheon. I explained to him that there was a crowd because I'd been in The Pit for so long and a number of folks were attending just to see if it were true that I was actually leaving this time 'round. Seriously, I've survived so many cuts and downsizes in the past, it's really pretty much unbelievable that I'm checking out.

green_goblin70 brought to me a Darth Vader gum ball machine, bless him. I swear, he's the most gift-givenest person I've ever met. I know he loves me, even if he refuses to admit it in public. I love him too. I think it's time for beer now.

I still haven't gotten my exit interview yet. Even though it was supposed to be this morning, Jan rescheduled it for 3:30 this afternoon. Dang! I was hoping to have it done and over with by now. Ah well, such are the wheels, cogs, and gears of business. I'm glad I'm getting out of it.

The only things I haven't packed up are my radio and my water cup. Everything else is either gone or packed and ready to go. The end of an era, yea and verily!

Oooh, the exit interview. I remember mine at my last job. The interviewer was not supposed to tell your supervisor what you said until after you were gone. That's not how it happened with mine. My boss asked me what I meant by some of the things I said before I left that day.:-(

Have fun! Enjoy being unemployed!

I'd have been there...you know, if I worked there. Since I don't, let me dedicate "Meet Me Half Way" by Kenny Loggins to you and your long, illustrious history working for the man.

You see the difference? When I finally succumbed and said, "Yes I'll leave," they pretty much ran me out before even the end of the day. When you're leaving they hold on to you for as long as possible.

Did I not always tell you when we were surviving all those layoffs and downsizings that you'd be the last to go and the only way they'd get rid of you was if the whole building was shutting down (which in a sense is pretty much what's happening).

Gah! I covet your gumball machine! You just made me break ANOTHER commandment!

:)

Happy happy joy joy on your momentous life transition and welcome to the ranks of ex-employed, non-traditional students.

I never comment on topic

I wanted to work out a deal with you concerning DragonCon.

I would only be able to go one day if I were to go. You said you were just going one day (Saturday).

I'd be willing to finance the journey if you take me along since you said you might not have money by then. Either way (money or no) I'll still give you some cash in exchange for transport.

You owe me for not coming to my babyshower :P

Don't worry, I won't go into labor. I have doctor's approval ;) Lemme know something.
