Going out with a bang (or a zap)
Today was my last day at the company where I've worked for the past 10 years. I've known for a couple of months that my employment there was coming to an end, and a group of friends has been commiserating during daily afternoon breaks in the snack room. For most of that time, the snack room featured a vending machine that didn't work. Just a week or so ago, the machine was finally replaced with a new, working one--much to our excitement.
Well, today as I went to purchase my final candy bar (plain M&M's actually), I pressed the appropriate button and was greeted with a large static electricity shock and then the lights on the machine went dark. It no longer dispenses candy.
To the rest of the break group, I apologize! My electric personality strikes again. I hope it doesn't take them as long to fix it this time!

Way to go! :^)
Best of luck in your new position.
It is still broke btw. But it will help on my diet with it being broke, so you did me a favor.
Let me know how the first day goes for you tomorrow.
Just so you know they fixed it. It wasn't a quick unplug and plug back in either. The guy had to take apart parts and even had to use a soldering iron.
