So Long, and Thanks for the Fish

June 30th, 2010...a date that will live in infamy.  Okay, not really infamy, but it'll definitely be a date to remember.  June 30th was my last day as an employee of Dvax, after an amazing run of 2 years and 9 months.  They say you always remember your first - whether it was good or bad, it's forever imprinted in your memories as the first time you've ever experienced something so new and so exciting.

Dynavax represents a lot of firsts for me.  My first real job, my first full-time salary position, my first industry experience, my first cubicle(!!), my first promotion, etc.  But what stands out the most, the most prominent and cherished memories during my stay at Dvax, will always be the people. My crew. My friends. My family.

I was fortunate enough to be a part of something amazing.  It was a smörgåsbord of personalities and emotions:  1 part love, 1 part mayhem, a generous helping of laughter, a pinch of cattiness, topped with a dash of sexual innuendos.  My coworkers made work fun, and I don't think I'll ever meet another group of people like them.  There's not much else to say except...
