What's Wattsy said.

Unless there's a spider or aggressive looking doorframe around, in which case please back away calmly and sit yourself down until the situation can be resolved.

Congrats! Did you make a rambling speech about "in my day" on the way out? :)

Well, it wasn't rambling but it did contain all those cliches about missing the people and not the work and how some of them I'd seen every weekday except for holidays for the last 30 plus years etc.

It doesn't matter how cynical I felt about the company towards the end of my time there, it was a big change and it would have felt phony to say anything too prepared or disparaging or whatever.

I took pity on the assmembled masses and kept it brief.

I'm really liking 'assmembled'.  Greg's assmembled, and I did the membling.

If that isn't old age, I don't know what is.

And yes, these days my membling is brief.
