Good morning! Woke up to the sound of thunder. Argh! I feel so bad for the children who got out of school and have seen rain every day since. Today is my 1st day at Qualcomm. My boss & I will be carpooling down to Concord, MA to pick up our equipment, get connected, etc.
Sitting in the historic building that is Qualcomm in Concord, MA waiting for the IT in the main San Diego HQ to do what is needed to "put us in the system". Looking over specs to pass the time.
Went with two coworkers to the 99 in downtown Kahnkid for lunch. Man! This rain is getting annoying!

Good morning! So today I'm 42. If you read the Douglas Adams "Hitchhiker" trilogy, you know the running joke that 42 is "the answer to life, the universe, and everything". And after countless months of anticipation, today I leave my job. Has sort of a "Twilight Zone" creepy coincidence, doesn't it? (related link)
Back from the goodbye lunch for my boss and me. Went to "Not Your Average Joes" in Acton. Just a small group of co-workers. Many of our staff took their mandatory vacation this week. [It was this or next Thanksgiving...] I've a little more archiving to do and then pack the computers.
Snapshots I took today:

Good morning! Yawn... 6 o'clock. Time to get up and drive down to Boxborough. Oh and look, more rain! [Like we need it?! Did I mention our lawn's "red thread" outbreak?] Today will be a day to tie up lose ends and pack up my office. Good thing the Jetta has a roomy trunk. Wondering what am I going to do with two 20" CRTs? I know, tubes... how quaint!
After taking four bags of trash to the curb in the rain (bleah!) I drove into work. My audio book, "Fool Moon", is good but I still felt like dozing off on this grey, rainy Monday. Even the travel mug of coffee Michelle made for me did not help. Alas I'm here and have things to finish before I'm gone for good.
Mmm... Thai lunch. Hopefully it doesn't make me sleepy.
Doing nerdy computer maintenance to my work environment. Creating Outlook PST files for legal reasons, saving my unix dot files off site, deleting large "temporary" files, submitting open files to revision control, etc.
Claire & I ran to the store to pick up a pie. While enjoying some, she told me of her adventures in taking Michelle's Step class for the first time in a long while.
