A Chronicle of my Last Day At Sun
I often wondered how my last day at Sun would go. Would I leave with a big bang? Or would I rather leave quietly? Would I make a happy dance outside of the door? How would I feel driving out of the campus? What about when I drove by the campus, as I do every day now that I work at OpenLogic?
Last Friday started pretty good. I got up, went through my morning routine, had coffee. I was smiling big throughout. It was going to be a good day. I thought about leaving a little early, maybe stopping by Village Tavern and have a martini before heading home. I drove to the Broomfield campus, listening to music and enjoying the drive. I even sung to some of the songs on my iPod.
Once at the office, I worked with Ravi to answer some more of his questions, attended my last standing meeting and development team meeting. I worked with Ravi to figure out what was causing issues with the Sun Update Services Delivery Server (found a couple configuration issues). By the time I was done, it was 5:00 PM. So much for leaving early...
So I gathered my stuff, dropped an envelope with my badge, Enigma card, Securid FOB and corporate American Express card in the interoffice mail. Chatted with one last person on my way out and stepped out the door. I had done it, I had done through my last day as a Sun employee.
So, what did I do? What was the answer to the questions above?
I smiled, whispered "Freedom" and headed to my car. I finally waved good bye as I drove off the Broomfield campus.
It was indeed a good day.
