Psychotomy

So today was the last day at my old job. spent the morning going through my office, making sure all the drives were scrubbed of my stuff. swept and swiffered my side of the office. it needs more swiffering. it actually needs a heavy duty mopping, stripping, and waxing. but i had a broom and a swiffer. the new guy’ll have to learn to cope :)

went to rsync everything off the desktop to the laptop, so the desktop could be wiped to whatever the new person wants. but i had a backup dir, which had 10G of data from another server when IT ran out of space. and a 10G directory with the last 9 months of logs. compressed. there was like 8-10G a month uncompressed … and sept wasn’t compressed yet b/c it wasn’t complete yet. so yeah. 20G of stuff, plus the 15G of build and burn directories for the installs. i gave up when i needed to go, wiped the partial, and left the desktop set. shut it all down though

made magic envelopes, printed out the docs i’d hacked together the last two weeks. turned in all my keys, cards and badges. exit interview was boring but quick. hr lady said she takes the feedback and gives a summary at the end of the year (not that my comments, if they get comments, won’t be blatantly mine, but whatever). and if there are problem areas they’ll talk to the employees about what they think could be done to improve communications and training and stuff.

this meeting will, of course, be like a hundred people per session and will involve telling the employees that the mandatory security BS will be every 3 months, now, instead of every 6. yay communication :o

but maybe my officemate’ll be able to get some training. before everyone quits next year for real jobs ;)
