Next year will be … different

A little over twelve years ago (8 November 2001 to be precise) I sent an email regarding a position listed on the student job site at uni. This was the start of my work on my.monash as a casual. Later becoming full time, then a senior developer and eventually a team lead responsible for not just my.monash but also email hosted via Google Apps and the email routing infrastructure. Throughout this we moved to offices off-campus and endured a number of rounds of organisational change.
This is all coming to an end in just a few short days, Friday 20 December 2013 will be my last day at Monash.
The last couple of weeks have been the busiest in a while as we try to tie up as many loose ends as we can, but unlike the previous years they have not been stressful. I attribute this to actually writing code and doing technical things, not managing people or dealing with internal politics.
I do not have a job lined up and I am looking forward to having a break. This is my list so far:
- clean and oil deck
- clean gutters
- sort garage
- paint hallway and laundry
- Arduino based home automation
- get flyscreen doors
- paint gutters and eaves
- sort through remaining old computers
- assemble some Lego
- tidy up study
- change which photos are on my walls
