I may therefore reveal that "The Company" = IBM. I am pretty sure that comes as a surprise to nobody. <BR/><BR/> Today is the first day that I would have gone to work if I hadn't signed those papers on Friday. My last day I felt oddly detached. I was immune to things and people that ordinarily bother me, like my manager and Jeff. On the other hand I went around and said good-bye to people. It's harder to go wrong with that. <BR/><BR/> My going away party was on Saturday at Brian's house. I will be seeing people this week, but it is probably the last time that I will see "everyone" together. (Not that it could really be <I>everyone</I> without Sherry, Megan, Joanna and Padraic). I got to say goodbye to Sherry over lunch a week or so ago, and I hopefully I will get to visit Joanna and Padraic in California before I leave. <BR/><BR/> Everyone should come out and visit me in Salt Lake City for a ski holiday (I'll be there about <B>6 February</B> to <B>8 March</B>, with a short trip to New Mexico sometime the week of <B>22 February</B>), or in Australia (anytime starting <B>May</B> 2006). http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/entry/20060123.1014
