In that faceless, nameless statistic sort of way.
So here I am. I’m not happy. I worked with a truly wonderful group of people, the kinds of folks who, even when you came into work in a shitty mood, could turn it around in minutes thanks to some well placed wisecracks, family stories, or shocking use of falsetto. I’ll miss those folks. We really had a good thing going.
That said, I guess it was time for me to move on. I’m oddly excited by this challenge. I look forward to finding something more consistent with my skills, and racking up some new ones. And, unlike certain other big media firms, my former company has been very generous with my severance, so I won’t be in trouble for a few months yet. I’ll start temping immediately, and do my damnedest to have something permanent lined up before said severance dries up.
In the meantime, expect a lot more blogging, more freelancing, and more hand-wringing over my budget.
2009, I will pwn you.
hang in there sid! think of such things as an opportunity in disguise or a blessing of great things to come. it’s only temporary.
