Today was officially my last day in Nijmegen. I felt a bit strange going to work today. Plenty of loose ends to deal with, though. I had a meeting with Erik to figure out what we still have to do on articles (two papers are accepted but still need work, a third was rejected so I’ll have to figure out where to send it), where we stand in terms of my promotion etcetera.
All in all the day was quite ok, though. I brought cookies for Stijn and Eric (unfortunately Eric couldn’t make it because the cast was taken off his arm at the hospital today and he was in pain, perhaps he’ll blog on the topic at his site). Left ‘m a few cookies for next week if he decides to come in for work 
Lunch in the new mensa was ok and the new coffee machine is bad. Hopeuflly we’ll have better coffee at my new job!
Around 4 o’clock we had some drinks with the IRIS group. Quite a few collegues showed up so that was fun. I realized that it’s bizar to leave with unfinished business… in the sense of papers that need finishing and new research being conducted (talked to Theo a while ago about some new topics that I want to explore with him). EIther way, drinks were nice. It was good to shake hands with so many wonderful people after having worked there for four and a half years. Q.E.D. I’d say.
Bye buddy, hope to see you back soon, I loved working for the 4,5 years with you and hope you hate your new job (so you bounce back quickly like I did)!
