Most of the bits of kit on my desk are now decorated with post-it notes. Matt's having my chair when I leave, being the only non-midget in the company. Steve A's getting roadkill. Margo's the worst, getting in first requisitioning my 21", 1600 by 1200 monitor before anyone else, and grabbing the stand it's on. And my scissors. She's even after my scissors.
There have even been attempts to nab stuff that's mine. Neil's been nosing around my USB drive. Margo has even tried to get my Homer figure, and I'm expecting a post-it on dawkins any time now. They had better not try anything, that's all I'm saying.
Picking over the bones, and I'm not even gone yet. Sigh.
BTW, my leaving do is next Friday. All welcome. Well, all non-teetotallers, that is.

Will arrange something once you're down Holborn way...
Posted by: Darren on March 9, 2007 04:40 PMAch, we have a birthday party that night arranged ages ago, i'll see what I can do about going to both, as the other one's not until later in the evening :-0
I'd have the monitor and the knuths, so it's just the books for me then... yes, I know they're yours ;-)

Have a mojito or two for me on Friday evening.
May your last day be slightly more rewarding than mine. The highlight of which was my boss leaving me a voicemail saying "I was going to come and say goodbye but something has come up. Feel free to call me and I'll wish you good luck."
You won't be surprised to hear that I didn't call back.
