Offboarding

I’m retiring at the end of the year after a very long time at one place, and predictably, our well-organized and project-based team has created an Offboarding project for my departure; efficient, logical, and documented. But it’s not how I feel– if I could, I’d like a process like the Cheshire Cat’s in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland:

“… I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy.”
“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
“Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!”
