10:08 … Day goes slow and fast at the same time.  That stubborn schedule I must pass on just finds it difficult to manage between barrages of questions, chats, and whirling thoughts I want to remember before I leave the building today.  Let’s see: meet with Lily, Sandy, and Glenda.  There are two more shelves to clear, files to clean out, notes to write.

11:12 … Sandy just poked her head in.  “We’re still going out to eat, eh?” she asked.  I replied, “Of course!”  … Between that time and now, what could I accomplish?  Ah – that database update!  Let that be completed now.  Inventory … may be that could be completed for me by someone else.  Recommendations for testing accommodations … that too!  Well-wishers along the hallway … more goodbyes … Just let me get out of here!  Lunch break … Let’s go, everyone.

1:13 … “Why do you have to go?” asked one.  I retorted, “I didn’t have to yet, but I really wanted change!”  Change … that seems to be the only constant in life we can bank on.  It’s difficult.  It’s necessary.  It confronts us to face new challenges.  It keeps us current.  It invigorates us.  It makes us reflect.  Nothing could move forward without committing to change.  Change refreshes us!

5:32 … “How does it feel to be free from IT all?”  Mick asks when I walk through the door.  “It’s horribly wonderful!” I say.  I have so looked forward to this day I can thank my Lord for carrying me through 37 great chapter years of a challenging, a most rewarding career in the whole wide world.   I am taking a little break, then “re-tiring” … changing gears … to new worlds and adventures of more learning, teaching and sharing my found and collected wisdom!

Each one, teach one … anything constructive, and something that could be built upon!
