Big News

So, today the "big news" came out at work: I'm leaving for another job.

The opportunity is awesome, it really feels like a dream job (does every job feel that way right when you accept it?) and I'm looking forward to it with an extreme amount of enthusiasm. It's almost child-like wide-eyed wonder at the potential.

At my current job, the news that I was leaving was announced today, after they put some things in place for the transition. I'm sad in a way to leave, it's not like it was worthless and I was hating it, or that I've been actively searching and scrounging for a new job... neither of those things are the case. In "Situational Leadership" terms, I was totally D3/D4 on my job. Really on the way up and feeling empowered and ready to make a difference. I worked as many projects as people that had been there for years, and we had a lot of stuff going into production.

Then again, this new job is a dream-job, so whatcha gonna do?

So, now the "two weeks transition" has officially begun. Lots of work to transition, lots of projects to bring other people up to speed on, lots of users to talk to (and in some cases, calm down)... This is an interesting time in any job. The future is known, the timeline is set, and the die is cast, so we move on down the road.

I can't wait!
