almost gone

My work station at the office is just about empty. Two more things need doing: I need to clean up the desk's surface, which is looking pretty rough, especially behind the monitor and CPU, where the last great war between two implacable dust bunny factions is occurring; and I need to grab a bunch of data files from the computer's hard drive. No, not porn, fool! I'm talking about the mess of documents I created for all my classes over the past three years-- not because I have any intention of turning them into a huge book, but because I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel, wherever I may end up when I'm back in Korea.

And that's about it, as far as the office is concerned. I've got an early dinner with coworkers tomorrow at 5PM, a meeting with two of my three replacement teachers (yes, that's right: I'm so large it takes three normal-sized people to replace me), a trip to the National Pension office (where my expectations for pay are now significantly lowered, given the shafting I've gotten from Smoo), logos and tee shirt images to design, contact lenses to buy, videos to edit and slap on the blog, dinner with friends on Thursday evening, funds transfers to take care of, packages to mail off to several of the peninsula-bound, and one last shipment of mortal possessions to haul over to my friend Sperwer's place. Much to do, much to do.

But not at my office. For all intents and purposes, we're done there.
