Davis has left the building
On Tuesday afternoon I handed in my laptop, put away all my personal belongings and said goodbye to PerkinElmer and more importantly my friends there. While I know that I will keep in touch with many of the people who have become such a big part of my life, I also know that this portion of my life is ending. I am moving on to (hopefuly) bigger and better things and very eager to be spending more time with T&T.
The final day could not, of course occur without some humor and mockery. In a wonderful gesture, some of my co-workers purchased a cake for my last day so that we could all share in the lunchroom and chat one last time. Unfortunately, being a diabetic (who is also working hard to finally eat right for a few months in a row), I couldn't eat any of it. I was forced to cut and serve a cake, which I never tasted. Hrm.
This was actually fine, and only further accented the next point. As we opened the cake box and looked at the message, we were greeted with what looked like "GOOD LUNCH DAVIS!"
While I will accept the fact that it might not have said "LUNCH" and could have easily been LURCH, LUCH or even the intended LUCK, my name is in fact not DAVIS. Ah well.
After we were done with the cake I was supposed to walk around the building(s) and say goodbye to a bunch of people. Most of the people I wanted to see came to the cafeteria for some cake, or as I will call it from now on, the "Renaming Ceremony". So I went around to the four people I wanted to say a personal goodbye to and hit the sidewalk. It was time.
As I waited for the cab, I was compelled to snap this shot.
Bye guys. It's been swell.

Best of Luch, man! You will be missed!
"Dave's not here man." I miss you, GB.

Best of luck in the new job and with the really wimpy car.
Love
Uncle Davis
