Yesterday was my last day at EDS - no joke

| 2 Comments

Well, after 3 years and 4 months, the era of Andy working at EDS is over. I had an extremely busy and jam-packed last day. In fact, I didn't end up leaving the office until a little after 10 PM. In my last two weeks at EDS, however, I think that I managed to get just about everything wrapped up -- be it documenting things, fixing things, migrating things, or simply deprecating things. At least, I hope that I did a good job. If I get a lot of angry phone calls over the course of the next few weeks, then I guess I'l think differently.

On my way out of the office, I also left my co-workers a little gag in my cube:

Windows Server 2003 - I Love it!!

The joke being, of course, that I am really pretty anti-Microsoft these days (and everyone who knows me at EDS probably knows this fact). Truth be told, however, I wasn't always like this. In fact, when I joined EDS, I was still fairly "Microsoft agnostic". However, seeing all of the blind allegiance to Microsoft, and the continued insecurity of Windows, pushed me into the anti-MS camp. But somehow, before that happened, I ended up with a promotional copy of Windows Server 2003. I had forgotten about it, but found it buried in a desk drawer yesterday while cleaning it out.

Anyways, I'm about to head out on a weekend-long camping trip with Mike and Sheila, so I hope to write more when I get back next week.

It's been six years that I don't use windows (thank you lord!).
I really don't understand why some mindless folks insist to convince me that MS-crap is the best :| gimme a break! They think I'm an alien. haha!
I do feel sorry that you left EDS. But I endorse your opinion on the stupid overloaded proxies and many other issues!
All my best wishes on your next job.

Looks like you heeded Yoda's warning about Microsoft. Alas the rest of us didn't!

Good luck with everything and thanks for all your help.
