It's my last day at my current job today! In my new position I won't be able to post on Archinect through the workday, so I'm going to post like mad for the next 8 hours! Join me with comments on what you're doing at work today, a good or funny memory from you experience in a last day on the job, or what you're having for lunch. ANY topic is relevant!

What;s the Irish goodbye?!?!?
I just hugged two people I DID want to hug. I will miss them.
(Feeling really self-conscious about using the comma splice since Trumpo did it last night and John Green snarked him about it. FFS what is going on.)

I agree the hugging has gotten out of control these days. Professionals don't hug people!
Good luck Donna. I have always appreciated your comments around this forum. Hopefully they continue in your off hours. You are obviously a valued member of this community.

And I'm out! Packed my box of stuff into my little car and handed over keys to Security. I'm home now - walking the dog up to the pizza place then it's pizza, wine, and movies with my teenager all night.
Thank you for the kind words Jonathan! Archinect is so important to my life in architecture, I'll never leave it. Just won't be posting during the workday.
Happy weekend everyone! Onward!!

gruen: Let the record show that you are accurate. I didn't post from work until Day 4, but I posted twice that day (today). Thankfully it was on a serious AIA-related topic, not some bullshit thread about black glasses or "what style is this house?" or whatever. Still: you are, of course, correct.

Good luck with the new job. Did your active posting not have a negative impact on the job or was it a welcome distraction from an otherwise bleek and boring existence? I am mostly online when there's not enough to do or not enough interesting to do and I can actually use some distraction/creative input. It's what I imagine a cigarette break would be for others.

The latter things, randomised. My coworkers mostly smoked and I felt like it was a parallel with that. But also I wasn't really working on challenging projects most of the time, and I was the only architect in the place, so Archinect was my virtual co-worker chatter.

I post while waiting for Revit to sync. Very efficient.
