    Last day in Gig - exciting things I could do?

    So, 6 month gig coming to an end today....managed to get my Programme Manager to bin me 2 weeks early, so I can start new gig next week.

    What special fun do you reserve for last day antics?

    (Bearing in mind I liked the gig, got on with the bods and may well come back here one day!)

    Take the whole office down the pub for a round, it's cheap marketing

      Code:
      INSERT INTO DUAL VALUES '1';
      
      COMMIT;
      Do it under someone else's login, and preferably under a time delayed trigger.

      They'll call you back in as the expert to fix it when the system comes crashing down.

      (Note, this only works with Oracle, and may result in a less than positive response)

          Naked streak though the office at 5pm IMO... Certainly won't forget you which could be useful if any new work comes up.

            Seen / done these.

            Posh cakes for the lot of em. Not Greggs the £1.50 buns from a Boutique cupcake shop. Depends on the rate obviously.

            Bottle of something nice / Chocolates for the decision makers & the ones that made the effort to help.

            New plant for the office. Pot engraved with biz name.

              5pm - that is, like, seriously out-of-hours....
              Besides, I like to head-off around 3pm on Friday's to beat the 'leaving-London-for-Suburbia' crowd.....

                No idea. My gig just never ends.
                What happens in General, stays in General.
                You know what they say about assumptions!
