Well, my "last" day of work was today, and I'm in a rush to wrap everything up by tomorrow. My lease ends tomorrow, I have to sell my car, finish packing, give away the last remnants of my belongings, and take a couple more boxes to FedEx to ship home. I then fly home for two months, including a 2.5 week trip to Taiwan and Australia to visit family, which will be a blast! Also, living with my parents for the next 2 months will be good preparation for living with host families for 4-5 months, especially after years of living on my own!
I may or may not be back in town, depending on if work grants me a leave of absence (LOA). No LOA means I have to come back on Jan 6th to officially separate, while an LOA means I get to stay home. Not exactly sure why the rules differ--I've been trying for the last week to have someone explain why I had to be here on my last day if I separated, and I was told I had no choice but to be here. Talking to people who have left other companies, it seems like standard practice, so there must be some type of legal precedence. Now this other scenario pops up at the last minute, where I may not have to come back! I already have my plane tickets for Jan 6th, so I guess I'm just super-prepared.
Thank you everyone for all of the farewell parties and well wishes! I will definitely miss all of you--please keep in touch! Leave me a comment or send me an e-mail at the address to the right. It has been a fun several years at work and in town, and who knows what will happen in the next two years.
Oh What Fun, Jack Turns ONE!!

It is amazing that you could finish all business in a pretty short period of time. I guess living back with parents could be a preparation for PC training, also a break. Traveling overseas is definitely a break! Several PCV's took a long, nice vacation travel after their assignments. They enjoyed very much. Good luck!
