I walked into work Tuesday morning to find a giant “Aloha” banner behind my cubicle, and hula girls bobbing around. Everyone on my team had a lei on their seat, and they actually got me to wear them for part of the day. The photo above is with my coworker Adilah. Another coworker, Russell, baked 4 pies, and brought in hot dogs and chili for lunch (thanks again – it was a nice surprise)! And thanks to Geoffrey as well for helping to organize and decorate, and everyone else who contributed!
I've been slowly saying goodbye to everyone the past few days. It's surreal to be leaving after more than 5 years with the company, however it also feels empowering to head off on my own terms into the great wide open!

Sounds like a great last couple of work days, always nice to know you’re appreciated and liked by your workmates. I bet these last weeks have been either flying or dragging by for you.
Mostly flying by – I’ve had so much to keep me busy in terms of work and trip planning, it’s hard to believe I just walked out the office door for the last time.

You know what’s really funny? On my iGoogle page where I set up a bunch of personalized modules, many of which are of daily updated content, I have a “How to of the Day” module. And on Nov. 20, the day before your departure from work, the “how to of the Day” was “How to Decorate a Co-worker’s Office”!!! Well, I think it’s really funny.
Glad it went so well. It IS a surreal moment to leave a place after having been there for so long.
How ironic! I must say, a few of my coworkers were amazingly adept at decorating. :)
