Two Weeks Notice
I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to mention that I turned in my letter of resignation. My last day will be Friday, February 10. It still doesn't seem real, especially with the two week notice. I've always expected to have nearly a month to wrap everything up and transition into my new life away from WPI. I certainly never thought that Amy and I would be doing this at the same time. I also imagined that WPI would take immediate action, whipping out contingency plans and jumping to find a replacement. Maybe I've become narcissistic, but I can't really see how the university is going to keep up appearances without asking us any questions about how the site works. It just seems foolhardy. But I suppose that's a big reason why I'm leaving in the first place.

Just because they haven't asked you any questions yet, doesn't mean they won't do so in the future. When I left my first major job, the day before I left, they basically asked me to write down everything I knew on a piece of paper. Then, we had a meeting to discuss said piece of paper where my boss made notes on it and then requested I type the whole thing up for him. Expect a minor (or major) panic attack on February 8th or 9th.

I hope your transition to the new job is smooth and easy. :) Enjoy your last few weeks at WPI, cause there's nothing quite like that college atmosphere of students, profs and the weird academia politics that comes from the higher learning world.
