As of today I can officially announce a big life change for me: new job! After 10 years of working at a the same place, I’m mixing it up a bit. I was fearful of three major hurdles:

  1. Telling my primary boss. But he was so gracious and nice about it that I shouldn’t have been anxious.
  2. Telling my bosses boss who I have basically reported to for all 10 years and really like as a person. He too was really great about it. I little more anxious about the loss of me as an employee (due to my awesomeness) but still great about it.
  3. Telling the people on the team I work on.
I have worked for the past several years with about 9 of the greatest people. We all have completely inappropriate senses of humor and share things at our meetings that would make HR blow a gasket. I can truly say the best part of every work week is our team meeting. How strange is that?
When I told the team I was going I saw some teary eyes but people were really happy for me, all the more indication that it is a great team and one I will really miss.
