I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

That one is my aspiration too. Is retirement as great as it seems?

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I have a mention in forward with a note being "the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README"

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

100% like can you message me? Sure. Will I help or hell respond? Probally not tbh. Work, chores, and hobbies keep me busy enough.
