First and last days of work

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
At the end of October '11 after 27 years in the library service, I was working my last day prior to retirement. On that afternoon there was an MP's surgery, something never held before at the branch. There was a lady waiting who introduced herself to me and we realised that we had worked together when we were teenagers. After she had gone, it occurred to me that we had started our first job together on the same day and she had come into the library on what was the final day of my final job. I had seen her once, several years ago, in another branch where I was working at the time, but we had never kept in touch apart from that.
