Extremely good last day which brought the weeks proceedings to an extremely successful conclusion. As it was our last working day and we had a time to spare while we were waiting on paperwork and phone calls, we stepped outside to have our photos taken with the factory sign. Here's mine:

Me with the Cray sign

Note the way my jacket sleeves perfectly match the colour of the background...

Here is G's iconic shot:

(In rare moment of photographic skill, I managed to frame the picture well enough that I didn't need need to crop it in post)

And here are all the software nerds with G behind the camera and the others sensibly keeping themselves warm back in the office (it doesn't look too bad, but it's actually around -20 celcius)

Everyone with the Cray sign

Documentary proof that we really were here, working hard all week to sort things out and not goofing off in Cedar Rapids...

It was all the only day this week we managed to leave before six - possibly because we started at seven - and the only time we drove back to the hotel during the hours of daylight which made us realise that Chippewa Falls is actually quite a lot nicer than it looks if you only ever see it in sodium orange.

Having been sent what G asserted was a drunken face emoticon and an email telling us to enjoy the local night life, we took ourselves to the Rumor Mill - the place that has become our local out here. We met up with another group for supper - I had a giant vegetarian salad - and, once they'd left, the others attempted to sample every Leinenkugel product the place had on tap...
