Psychotomy

today was the farewell lunch

i’ve been out to lunch with people from the team (not counting my office mate) … less than a dozen times. and half a dozen of them i’d say were me and dave when he wanted to “sit down and talk with me” about something. usually sometime where i just shut people down by dismissing their concerns out of hand or something :o

mind, i’ve not had much interest in going out with them in general, but it’s a principle thing :p they wanted to take me out and hang out some b/c i’m leaving. not b/c they necessarily like me or want to hang out, but b/c they feel they should since i’m going. oi.

got my white pizza again though :) not sure how much more often i’ll get that, now :/ they got me the new guildwars expansion (collectors edition, preorder) which was kinda cool actually. well, rob picked it out, and no one else knew what he’d gotten.

cleaned up more garbagio and went to make a final backup of the ve disks, since we don’t have a real backup system. except the usb drive wouldn’t recognize. i think somethings wrong with it. again. last one blew too. after letting it go for hours to see if it was fscking or checkdisking or whatever, i dug around and found another one in my office. hooked it up, and it was fine. so i took it and the office laptop down and started the backup. amusing part is, this drive i pulled out of the trash when someone was cleaning their office. it had the drive and power, i figured what the hell :) and apparently it worked! handy that

burned out my chat options at the office. figure i’ll be offline tomorrow. need to finish up the docs and write up magic envelopes, but otherwise i think it’s all pretty well set to leave.

tomorrow’s my exit interview :o “why are you leaving?” “because i’ve had no advancement, no raise, and i was generally treated as an exploitable resource. exploit THIS!” :o ok, so maybe in different words?
