then there was one

Today is the last day for one of my neighbors. He's been contracting with evite for the last few months building them a log-file analysis tool. Its been fun sitting across from him because we often nerd-out together talking about the benefits of using "NOT IN" vs. "NOT EXISTS" in SQL queries or discussing the future of open source databases. And, he hasn't minded the D&B that the white creature has been pumping out lately.

So come Monday I will only have one neighbor. He's biz dev and is frequently in meetings or traveling. Most likely all the cubes around me will be empty. I'm told they will hire me some co-workers in the next few weeks, but I'm not holding my breath - our projected headcount for the end of this month was 5 but I'm still all by my lonesome.
