Last day at Dell

On Friday 13th October 2006 I had my last day at Dell. I'd lasted just over six years but the time had well and truly come to leave.
The chaps and chapesses of Dell Bangalore gave us some lovely gifts and a spectacular pineapple cake.


Whilst it's always sad to say adieu, I was ready to go. My (Indian) colleagues were lovely people but the office drove me crazy. Full of noise and no privacy, it was an assault on the senses. Such is the way of India, I suppose.


As well as the cake, they gave us a framed floral painting (which Leanne liked very much) and a small cuddly dog in a tartan bag (which Daisy liked very much).


I handed in my laptop and headed for the door. As is the way with Dell, my security pass, computer logins and email addresses would all be cancelled close after my departure.
