I'm really going to miss being able to come and go as I please and just being trusted to deliver rather than being checked up on all the time...

So it seems you weren't really working these last five years; sounds more like a long dream .

Seriously, I'm sorry to hear about this. I had to go from a very comfortable team and casual dress to a more corporate environment (in which I now wear a tie to work). The worst part was not working with another programmer (who was an empegger BTW) who thought so much like me that you couldn't tell our code apart. It was nice while it lasted though.
