on Nov 5th, 2007Strange …
So I’m leaving my old job next Friday. It’s kind of surreal. I’ve been here for nearly five years. I’ve sweat, bled and wept here. My son was born while I worked here, bought a house … many memories both good and bad (mostly good) happened while I was here, many in this office itself. I used to practice with my now defunct band GreyHalo here at this office. We recorded half of our only album here. I rebuilt over 75% of the network, installed wifi built all the computers (except for the laptops). I’ve put so much of myself in this office - it’s like I’m leaving part of myself behind.
Surreal. Sad. Almost disappointing.
But I look forward to my new position at Adtegrity. I foresee much fun and growth there. My prayer is that I can become a light where I need to shine. I also pray that my ego will stay down. Since I’ve been “the man” when it comes to design here at Bible Doctrines, it will be hard to admit that I’m not the only computer geek in town.
So, November 9th I walk out of this office. I’m sure there will be tears, some of them mine. Thinking about the end of my employment here really does shake me up. But, God is good. He’s got plans. And I walk into the office at Adtegrity on the 12th and hopefully I can ‘wow’ them.
Good luck, Darling! I know it will be hard to leave, but these people will always be a part of our lives.
Tad, congratulations on the new job. It sounds like a great opportunity for you. It sounds like you have been having a tough time lately, just hang in there. I figure it took me until this past year feel like I am getting a handle on life, family, work and all that. God is faithful, He will provide.
