Okay, so perhaps I haven’t stopped and started the process of blogging 242 times (yet), but I’ll admit it’s been an inconsistent effort. I make no promises as to how long this round shall last, but here I am at least for now. (Anybody out there still reading this thing? Probably not…)
Today was a momentous first for me – the first time I chose to leave a job. All other job departures resulted from moving, either moving to college or moving after college. But today, I said I was leaving because I wanted to. After five years and eight months at the first company I joined post-college, it’s simply time to move on. It’s bittersweet, because I know that the job I’m leaving for is a great step forward in my career, yet I’m leaving behind friends and memories. I learned more than I can even begin to describe from the people there, and they have supported me through many stages of growth in my early career. But every chapter must eventually end. And with the end of one comes the beginning of the next. My next chapter starts March 1. I expect it to be a great one.
Yes as a member of my blogroll I still read your blog, I know your sentiment of starting and stopping your blog and sympathize with you, and good luck with the new job and your new chapter!
