Turning off the lights

Today was my last day of work. I've been with the company for most of the past 15 years so it was a strange feeling indeed. I spent this morning with the team looking at the last engagement to understand what went well and what can improve for next time. Talking about the next challenges gave me a bit of a twinge.

I then enjoyed lunch in Windsor with some senior telco folk from Cell Telecom - a company we've recently acquired. Then back to the office for a strategy session. Another opportunity to feel that twinge. And tonight, as I "cleared out my desk" so to speak, I was the last one out of the office - and I literally had to turn off the lights...

Right now it's hard to see past the sadness of leaving friends and life here in the UK. Of course, some of that is driven by the comfort of familiarity. We now focus on the remaining logistics before we set of for our holiday in France.

Before we know it we'll be boarding that plane back to Australia...
