( raw notes )

A good day -- I finished packing my office (grand total: 15 items, including 10 boxes and 5 assorted other things) and had several good conversations. I will miss my coworkers, and many have told me they'll miss me. I'll try to keep in touch, but I also know how that usually goes.

I'm a little concerned about the future. The new project is also destined to turn into a product -- will I ever find my way back to something more like research? Is such a thing even possible at this point?

The coworker who took me out to lunch (Thanks, Dr. Bob!) mentioned that his brother (who I'd worked with at Zilog three decades ago) just got a job teaching at DeVry; teaching could be a good way of augmenting my retirement income. I need to start thinking about that.

Quite a few links, many of them depressing. What comes of having the afternoon free with no more tasks to work on.

Good, but with an undercurrent of sadness.
