Another List...

So, the day has finnnnnallllly arrived. My last day of work. Starting tomorrow, I have an 80-day weekend, which will include trips to LA, Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, Tennessee, the High Sierra and potentially SF or Vegas. I can't fucking wait!

I've done enough of the sappy "leaving NY" / "Last Friday of work" etc. posts. All I can say is that I have been walking around all day with a gigantic goofy smile on my face, and you all know I'm not much of a smiler. Anyways, I'm gonna try to lighten it up a bit here with a list of the Top 5 things I'm going to miss about work:

5) That amazing feeling that kicks in Friday afternoon, just after lunch, knowing the weekend is just hours away. Bonus points if Monday is a holiday.

4) Free high-speed internet and long-distance calling. I doubt I'll ever speak to Shashank again. The only upside is now when I'm surfing the web, at least all the porn and gambling sites won't be blocked.

3) Of course, the BlackBerry, which to me truly is a CrackBerry. Everyone is used to me responding to emails within about 1 1/2 minutes, so it's gonna be a tough adjustment for all of us.

2) Going to sleep at night knowing I have made a positive contribution to society. OK, I only threw that in there to see if you were paying attention, and b/c I couldn't really think of a 5th thing I'm going to miss about work.

1) The 15th and the 30th/31st

So, there you have it. I am now leaving the post-college work phase of my life and about to enter the MBA phase.

Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone. My next post will likely be from somewhere in the Third World. Feel free to lob in souvenir requests.
