Wonderful. It had me thinking back to my last day.
During the day, my DW sent me an e-mail wishing me well on this last day.
I packed up the remains of the cake, and drove to the train station. My wife was waiting at the other end, and we had a celebratory dinner.
That was January 2009, and I have never looked back.

Belated congratulations! Enjoy your freedom.

Now that you are almost at the 10-day mark, has it hit you yet?
