It has been both a scary and exhiliarating experience. Even though two years later I still don't have the kind of job I left it has been good. I hope you can enjoy your time of change too.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298345.post-41752838012942327862008-09-06T23:13:00.000-05:002008-09-06T23:13:00.000-05:00Jim, that bites.

I voluntarily left my work of the past 9 years behind this year and can say that many, many good things can come from such a shake up (mine, self inflicted, yours, by others).<BR/><BR/>After a bit of grieving what's behind, take a look around and if you have a positive attitude (and it sure seems like you do), you'll be amazed at the new opportunities coming your way.Peter West Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361967795219260572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298345.post-14859434016987965772008-09-03T16:23:00.000-05:002008-09-03T16:23:00.000-05:00My sympathy.

I can't wait to see what organization or group of people gets blessed by you.

If this action serves to refocus The Company on its crumbling core business it will have been a good thing. It's a great organization that's done some great things. It just got distracted over the last several years.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270153414386269152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298345.post-21888621355939189352008-09-03T09:20:00.000-05:002008-09-03T09:20:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear this, Jim.Sorry to hear this, Jim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298345.post-18790842626645328992008-09-03T08:46:00.000-05:002008-09-03T08:46:00.000-05:00That is just not right.
