Observations: Thursday, October 01, 2009
Today at work I believe we settled on a candidate to replace me. I that sounds weird maybe, but I was concerned that that process wasn’t moving along quick enough. I enjoy where I work, and the people that work there, and don’t want to see them stuck in a position of being short. I was so happy to take part in that process and feel that we made an excellent decision.
Well, the time is getting close for all things that we’ve been working toward, to start up. There’s an old Chinese proverb that states “Be careful what you ask for, you might just receive it”. Well, here we are. There has been so many loose ends to tie up but finally, I feel settled into a plan that will work with a minimum of discomfort, and a maximum of success. Planning 3 months away from home and loved ones (even though I’m coming back weekends), can be a challenge in itself.
I plan to blog pretty heavily this entire experience, and hope that it keeps friends and family updated and understanding what’s going on. I have received several “warning” ) say that in a friendly way), from friends that they’re coming to Boston to take me out for lunch or dinner.
To be honest, I feel like I’ll be fine. Yes, life will be different, and routine things won’t be routine, and other things may change … that’s true. But I also feel good karma surrounds me, and that all of this effort to get where I am now, wasn’t simply for the purpose of failing.
I don’t know how the outcome will turn out, but I do know, that this is the direction I was supposed to go in … of that I’m sure. Somewhere in all of this, there are other things that will happen for another (unknown at this time), purpose.
From this point forward, if you wish to help me, consider helping Sher. Give her a call to simply chat, or invite her out for a lunch or light dinner, send her an email … something like that. She has worked relentlessly hard in arranging all this for me … and I can’t repay at this time. She needs and deserves a treat. Monday I’ll be gone for the week … keep her busy
