...and, I'm done.
Well, as of today, I'm officially unemployed and out of the tech industry. Did the exit interview thing, signed all the papers promising not to disclose any of what I've invented or learned over the past nine years (despite the fact that all patents are public record), not to sell trade secrets, not to enter into contracts with representatives of a surprisingly long list of foreign governments, yadda yadda... Went out for a few beers with the crew after work, came home and sold my motorcycle to a young marine who is probably out killing himself on it right now, and I'm at least 1/5 of the way into a handle of Bacardi Gold at the moment.
What an astoundingly liberating experience.

I had my exit interview on thursday. Yes, after all that time looking for a job, i resign after 4 weeks lol. But for good reason. I got a job offer from a place I had an interview with months ago. The position is testing all the programming for all the major satellite companies (Dish, AT&T etc...). So basically i'll be getting paid to watch TV all day lol.
G/L on your new ventures Joe!

Basically, I'm gonna walk the earth.
VINCENT
What do you mean, walk the earth?
JULES
You know, like Caine in "KUNG FU." Just walk from town to town, meet people, get in adventures.
VINCENT
So you decided to be a bum?
Not a whole lot. Driving out on the 31'st, planning four days' time for that. Settle in, get oriented, and the fun begins Aug 18.
Don't really need it. Got a room in a house that's basically right across the street from the campus.
Who said I wasn't a greedy *******?

Have any idea of what kind of law you want to do? I'm sure you're going to do well. I have a friend who just recently graduated from law school and I can tell you his class mates were not genius' by any stretch of the imagination. The schoolwork doesn't seem overly difficult, there's just a lot of it.
