Yesterday was my last day at work.   The lads gave me a very nice send off by presenting me with an iPad and taking me for a few drinks (Blue Moons) at Palominos.  I was the last hold out in the team without an iPhone (or any Apple products) which has been driving them nuts so they played a cruel joke on me by sending me packing with an this slick, new and shiny device.  Somehow I think I made off better in this whole deal as the iPad is pretty dam cool and I am really getting into it.  I guess that tells you what a great group I have been working with all these years as their idea of a practical joke is buying someone a state of the art device like this.   Thanks guys, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you all these years.
