In July of last year I was leant out to a different team.  I was supposed to there for three months.  Then that was extended to 6 months.  Then 9 months.  And I finally actually left them on Friday.

At 3:30 I caught the manager out of the corner out of my eye.  Turning on my chair to see what she wanted I noticed the rest of the team standing behind her in a semicircle.  All 20-odd of them.  At which point I blushed heavily.

When she told me they'd really appreciated having me there and handed me a card and a leaving present my whole body blushed.  Literally - I felt my entire body glow and I'm sure I brokle into a sweat.  I panicked slightly, said something utterly unmemorable that completely failed to express the fact that I was extremely happy to have worked with them for 9 months (well, for the most part) and felt horribly awkward and embarassed.

And then I spent the following 5 hours with a huge grin on my face.

I'm off to California in 10 hours.  When I get back I'm returning to my 'real team'.  I'm sorry to be leaving my current team, but I've learned a lot, and hopefully things will go well on my return.  I'm even looking forward to it a bit.

How long are you in CA for? If you are there for an extended period, find a local library and sign on. The nice thing about many public libraries is that they have free internet access

Woot!

Oh, and have a safe trip. Is it a non-stop from the east coast to the left coast?

Oh, cool. San Fran.

It's about 2 hours from there to here. You've got to come over.
