It's the End of An Era...

After working 11 years and 8 months at the same place of business, I have decided to move on. Ultimately, my decision is based on the fact that my position was heading towards a direction that I could not see myself working through.










I accepted a job as a telecommunications analyst for the 3rd largest financial institution in the world. It will be a totally "different world than where I come from..."

I turned in my resignation on a Monday, and to my surprise they actually had me work the entire 2 weeks!

My friends were really sweet and got me a going away gift. A lovely framed, montage of my name with cut outs of words they feel emulate me. It made me cry. They took me to lunch at El Vaquero and later that evening we did a farewell Happy Hour at the usual spot, the Inn Between.

I sure will miss my friends and co-workers...and even the remnants of my company before we got acquired, but definitely won't miss the "company."
