Goodbye

Well, the summer is over. I must say I feel kind of sad. I wish I could skip over the next year and just start work. In many ways, I view the first couple years of work as merely a stepping stone to getting to someplace where I really want to be, so the sooner I can start them, the sooner I can get on with my life.

On the other hand, I can guarantee that on Monday morning, when I sleep in until 10:00 am or so rather than hearing my alarm go off at 7:45, I won't be missing work too much at all. fn1.

After an incredible lunch at Megu (more on that later, perhaps), I had to scramble to finish up my last memo. It turned out ok -- it wasn't great, but hopefully it will provide minimal satisfaction for the partner while insuring that I will NEVER end up in the tax department.

This morning, I had cleaned up my desk and done all the other administrative crap I needed to finish. So I packed up my few personal items (highlighted by matches and postcards from some of the summer's better restaurants) and turned in my office key, bid some friends goodbye, and was off.

In parting, here's a few shots of my office and view that I took a couple weeks ago.





1. Bringing back memories of one of the best lines from Office Space:
Bob: Peter, it looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter: Oh, I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.
