It's really all over

B0y! I can say that about so much.

Christmas is really all over. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Christmas? I hate the fact that everyone over-compensates for whatever they missed in the year. While I love the family, I hate the get together that we have every year. We trudge up to KY, exchange presents in a ritual that is getting more and more intense and then turn around and come home again to an empty, quiet house. James and I enjoyed our holiday together though. I made a traditional dinner and we watched Holiday Inn.

The other thing that's really all over is my career at BellSouth and the Death Star. I wiped clean my computer. I deleted documents and email that I've had for over 5 years. I removed cookies from my browser. I compressed and defragged the disks. I've got my Out-of-Office assistant sending a message out to all who didn't get the memo, that I'm gone and there aren't a lot of options if you need soemthing from me.

There is something really, really final about zero emails in your inbox and no personal folders.

I've got all of my important stuff on a thumb drive. Examples of my work in PowerPoint, spreadsheets, 16 iterations of my resume, plus a resume or two for friends and relatives. Cover letters, budgets, account information. It's all on that drive. I should probably upload the stuff onto the hard drive huh? Yeah, after my nap maybe.

So that's it. It ends with a wimper, not a bang.
