And...you're done

Today was my last day in the office. I didn't realize it at the time, but it turns out that I don't have anything else to do, so I'm not going in on Friday.

I thought they were having a going-away party for me today, which I was not looking forward to, as I didn't particularly want to make a big deal of my leaving, especially since I'll still be working in the building this summer. When I checked my email again today, I realized that the party was actually scheduled for tomorrow, when I have class and when I pointed this out, they decided to give me my parting gift today.

This involved the entire office staff (or the people that were there this afternoon, anyway) standing around my desk and staring at me. In silence. We briefly discussed my summer plans, but the whole exchange lasted less than 3 minutes in uncomfortable silence.

I'm curious to see how the party would have turned out.
