Last day at the DOE

Today was my last day of my contract at Alberta's Department of Energy (DOE).

The following are memorable things about the Dept of Energy that I may or may not miss. This is not a top ten list as I'm sure I will add to it.

• Crazy Paper Guy - I hope he finds that airplane soon


• Elevator Rides - praying for a non stop trip past the 5th floor (AB Mental Health outpatient clinic)


• No more TEARS - Time Entry And Reporting System


• Open Source vs Micro$oft "discussions"


• Drive by management


• Dodging smokers at each entrance to the building(s)


• Dodging cars to get across 108st to/from our clients' building


• Harassing Becker : "are you done yet ?"


• Obscure batch program email messages


• Figuring out how to open the bathroom door after the guy who never washes his hands has just left.


• The Russian Coffee Syndicate


• Last day rounds
