I’ve got _Office Space_ playing in the background, I’ve got a pizza in the oven, and a cold beer in my hand. Life is good.

Only nine more days to go. One more code release cycle. No work requests assigned to me. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s glorious, glorious freedom.

Cashing out stock options, accrued vacation, participation in the stock purchase plan, getting a tax refund, and a last paycheck … it’ll be almost like I still have a job!

**lno** , I lived in South Dakota for quite a while—Minnesota doesn’t scare me. E-mail the particulars; I’ll apply.
