This is really more second impressions than a literal day 2. Probably no need to explain that but i did anyway.
I left the office on that last day at the regular time after spending the day trying to unobtrusively gather my personal belongings. Luckily I had removed some things when we were first bought out and more when McKesson-the new guys- closed a 100,000 sq ft building with lots of room for expansion after splitting up groups and moving groups all over. The most profitable part of that location was moved to Iowa and partly outside Chicago and almost immediately began to lose money and clients. Plans were made to consolidate 11 data centers down to 2, maybe 3. More plans were made to move the existing data center to a much smaller location. Lots of corporate decisions based on very little. But I digress. I wanted to act like it was a regular day and leave like it was a regular day and not have to go through a lot of goodbyes. I told a very few people and left. In so many ways it was a major relief to get away from there. I have yet to cry about losing a job that I really had liked and leaving people I genuinely care for. McKesson did give me a decent severance package. So that was that.
Except for the part about what in the world does one do with all that time?
