A New Leaf

I honestly never thought I’d be writing these words at my advanced age. I have quit my former job and taken one with a different employer. I probably won’t write about my new employer any more than I did about my old. Suffice it to say that my new employer grew during 2020, I wanted to have more responsibility and more money than I was making, and I didn’t see any way for either of those things to happen with my old employer.

I actually shed a few tears in the elevator on my way down. I will miss them but onward to new adventures.

It may turn out to be a shrewd move or the greatest career mistake I’ve ever made. I’ll know in due course. As Maurice Chevalier’s character sings in Gigi, forevermore is shorter than before.

    Congratulations! A fresh new challenge is invigorating at any age.

  • Thanks. I figure I’ll be doing a lot of learning. The big question mark is how much teaching I will need to do. I frequently find myself teaching basics to people.

  • No moving involved. If things go as I hope, I’ll be building an organization around me right here in Chicago. If they don’t, I’ll be working remotely.

    Best of luck, and may it be rewarding. I have a sneaking suspicion you will be fine.
