The last time I saw Jeff Bezos

I ran into Jeff a number of times while working at Amazon.com for a couple of years. On my last day at work at Amazon (in 2004), I happened to bump into Jeff one last time – as it happens, at the urinals (5th floor restroom). There are only two, and we ended up side-by-side. Breaking the inevitably awkward silence – he spoke first, asking how my website was doing. I said “fine”, and let him know I was moving to Boston. His last words to me, as we left the restroom together were “Oh, Alan… that’s so disappointing”.

I hope he was talking about the job

otherwise that is not really what you want to hear at the urinal.
