Last day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yup, today’s the last day of work. I start my new job on Monday morning.

I’m currently working in an office with all my belongings packed up, with bare walls and bare desk space. The whole “moving out” look, definitely. There’s nothing like the feeling of killing off your own voice mailbox, your own email accounts, etc. It’s a bit surreal.

So the big question now is, if I’m not a one-man IT Department, what the heck am I gonna call this tech blog? Perhaps we’ll have a re-naming contest, and then a logo design contest once we have a new name. The possibilities are endless!

Just give me some time to settle into a new routine and then I’ll put some thought into it.

(BTW, when I typed the title of this entry, I was tempted to make it “Last Day, Capricorn 19, prepare to renew.” Major geek points to anyone who gets the reference, in-exact as it is.)

Update: Leave it to my readers to not only know the reference, but one of them, Gary, even found a WAV file of it. Which of course only goes to show how completely I mangled the actual reference!

    Things like this are why I think IT people consume more aspirin and migraine medicine than the average person. It’s probably why we cuss more too! I wonder though, now that my educational efforts are apparently doing more harm than good, should I just stop? No more virus warnings no hoax warnings, just leave them…

    My wife, after reading that last post, came to me last night and said “That was a little too Andy Rooney for my tastes, what happened to my husband?”. Ouch! OK, I admit it, I’ve been taking life a little too fucking seriously. Time to crank up a Too Much Joy CD and remember that…

    It’s been a long week. I know I’ve been quiet around here, but besides being just a busy week, I’ve been distracted all week by the birth, and subsequent complications, of our new niece. I’m happy to say that she is progressing, and they anticipate her being able to go home in time for Thanksgiving….

    Inspired by Phil’s little rant: “Most weblog comment systems convert a single return into a break tag, and two returns into a paragraph. If yours does not, that’s something unusual, and you need to tell people, before they submit a comment that they expect to be several paragraphs long, only to find that they’ve submitted…
