Tom's Going Away Day - January 2007

This was Tom's last day as VP of Engineering at Webridge.  He was my boss and his departure meant a lot of changes at work.  But on his final day we made the most of it and had a "going away" lunch at McMenamin's where we gave him gifts (both gag and normal).  We also went to Old Chicago after work for drinks and continued fun.


Mykle, Preetha, Sandy and Sharon arrive for the lunch.

Jonathon and Mark.

Me and Kerry.

Jon and Rajiv.

The man of the hour, Tom, and Suresh.

DJ and Nancy.

Andy and Scott.

Jeanne and Steven.

Here is where we started to give the presents.  Jeff presents the WOM, which can be bounced.  (Work humor.)

And here Tom is receiving the WOM Log: a literal log with log statements on it.

And finally a mini whiteboard that is a perfect transcription (in permanent marker) of the whiteboard outside Tom's office on his last day.

Here we are at OC after the day is done.  Tom, Vikas, Rajiv, Tamara, Jeanne, Mykle and Dena.

Jon's throwing back an entire Sheaf Stout.  Crazy!

Mykle, Dena and crazy Jeff.

Tom, Vikas, Rajiv and Tamara.
