Change
Left a job on Friday. Started a new job yesterday. I'm shaking off the cobwebs in the new job, but so far, so good.
I guess I'll miss the old place, too. It grew on me and it was a good place to work. A couple of things impressed me. One was there were lots of good-hearted folks, and even those who were a little prickly seemed fundamentally decent at heart. Second was the work ethic — they were hard workers who didn't need a lot of supervision. Third was they were completing a difficult transition, and succeeding in it, without making a big outward show of things. I liked all that.
But in the end I really preferred a slightly different line of work, and was fortunate enough to get the position I wanted. So it's onward and upward, as a former boss used to say.
