The Final Countdown

Tomorrow is my last day and nobody will let me forget it. The odd thing is the fact that people seem to think I've forgotten. They must have, why else would they kept telling me it's my last day. The bad thing is, several of them keep getting it wrong. Some insisted that today was my last day. I'm not sure if they're stupid, can't remember, or assume that I'm just not going to show up tomorrow. We'll see if they're right.

I've been training my replacement this week, which is an odd feeling. On one hand I feel like warning him about all the stupid shit he's going to have to put up with, but on the other hand I want him to have to learn it on his own and try not to predispose him to hating certain people and feeling slighted about things he may not otherwise care about. I wish him the best of luck. The only thing I can't decide is whether or not to give him a nickname before I leave. My last gift to my former Cubers. I have one last day to decide.

I did have a somewhat touching moment today. The Executioner (or The Bear, depending on who you ask) work Sunday through Thursday, so for him this was my last day and he actually got me a small gift which I thought was really cool. It surprises me sometimes when people actually show they care, or at least show ME that they care.

Two quick notes. My former obsessions with Dino Run has now been replace by Phun. Phun is a physics simulator sandbox game where you can create all kinds of nears machines. Check on Youtube for some crazy siege weaponry and torture devices created in Phun.

The second note is that I think I'm having an email conversation with a girl who is hitting on me for a green card and/or money. It's kinda weird. I'll keep you posted on that one.
