Shutting down the shop feels a bit like moving flats. All the stuff and all those boxes.
Not to mention all the things you discover your colleagues have left unfinished or almost hidden, and stuff crammed into their drawers.
Should I mention that I really, really hate moving flats?

With crunch time closing in, everybody but me seems to call in sick.
Nice move, colleagues, nice move.

When your shop is closing and you are the only IT staff member (sort of) left who is supposed to take care of a proper shutdown.

Ranting for swag, for a living or both, that's how we're meant to roll, obviously.

Folks, please:
If you grab pics or comic strips to post them here, include at least the link where you've found it/taken from.

In the beginning, even those who are remotely involved with the task/project want to contribute to it. Over the time, as they realise that there is some serious work to do, one by one the turn quiet and drop out.
But as soon as you take action to make sure that the whole thing is going to work out in the end, they come back complaining because they feel that you went over their heads.
WTF?!
