the last two weeks...

so anyone ever heard the term, "your best two weeks of work are the last two weeks of work."

here's what i've noticed from a buddy of mine who's moving on to bigger and better things....

in the past two weeks....

1. he has "worked" on the same exact drawing or at least he has been "looking" at the same exact drawing on his screen, which to me looks like hasn't changed a damn bit in the last two weeks.

2. his lunches have been gradually getting a lot longer than "his" normal hour and a half lunch and has been stretching ever so slightly to the two, two and a half hour range.

3. he suddenly has grown some kahuna's. nuff said.

4. his days are now spent browsing through the internet, while occasionally clicking back to the drawing (see number 1) that he has be "working" on for the past two weeks as way to deceive the untrained eye (the man's eye) that he is acutally getting work done during his last days.

5. he's happier.

6. being on time for work is no longer a priority. leaving early from work is a priority.

7. for some reason, there seems to be a lot of blank cd's on his desk as of late.

8. i've noticed our supplies of printer paper, pens, pencils, post-its, etc. has all of a sudden been running out a lot quicker in the last two weeks.

9. he has managed to use up all his vacation days and sick time all within a two week period.

and one last thing i've noticed....

10. he's not even at work right now.

i wish him all the best. lucky bastard!
