I have cleaned up my desk, and my mailbox, handed over the projects, and in half an hour I'll turn over my access badge and keys for the office to the security guards. Goodbye to ESOC.
This evening I'll be spending with the neighbours from upstairs. Tomorrow I'll bring the apartment to a decent state, and Friday I'm off for Copenhagen. I'll probably not be able to write in this diary again till Monday or Tuesday. Tschuss, auf Wiedersehen, und Viel Spass. It was fun in Germany, but not fun enough! ;-)
By the way: The weather is decent - 4 DEG C, partly clouded, partly sunny.
