Last Day of Work

Well, it's my last day of work at Datatel. While it's had it's wrinkles I have a hard time saying anything bad about the place. It's been a positive experience overall, but not one that I can settle into at this point in my life. I'll miss working with my coworkers and working for people in higher education, but it's time to move on and I'll enjoy a short time off.
After work we are going bowling to say farewell, and I'm sure I'll have fun doing that. I'll be the last event I go to with my car since I'll probably be giving it up tomorrow.
Anyhow, from here on out Japan and Japanese will be a big focus in my life. But while I'll be leaving the 'States, the things that I've learned from everyone who I've come in contact with will help shape my future direction.
Update: The photos from bowling are here.

Datatel will miss you too Ian - you contributed a lot to our success.
But I think you are in the perfect place to go and explore a new world - it takes courage and I admire you for taking the plunge - please keep your page updated so that we old folks can try to keep up with your exciting life.
I have no doubt these years will be defining ones for you and thank God you will never look back on your life and wonder what would be different if you had just taken a chance - so have a blast and embrace this fabulous opportunity!
