Long live Ferris Bueller
~Ferris Bueller, Ferris Buellers Day Off
The other day I noted something important had happened but what I didn't mention was that in reality, two important things had happened. I can now safely tell you about the second important event in my life.
drumroll please
.........
I'm leaving my current client for a new opportunity.
It's an exciting opportunity at a local software development company. It came to me when I wasn't looking for something new. It turned out to be a great position that I just couldn't pass up.
I'm still essentially in the same line of work (consulting in and around project management and business analysis) but this is a senior level position developing new processes, procedures and documentation for a function within the company that doesn't officially exist in any formal capacity. I'll also be charged with formal business analysis and possibly some project management in the beginning. This is a group that has gaps right now and as they grow and stablize they need someone to help fill gaps and get new processes in place.
They want a method to their madness.
I'm excited as hell but a little sad to be leaving my current client. This place has been exceptionally good to me and I have met INCREDIBLE people here. It's a bittersweet departure.
That said, life is short, kids. I think it's important to live life to its absolute fullest, take some chances and enjoy it or like Ferris said...we could miss it.
And I don't want to miss anything.
It's amazes me that just when I think my life can't possibly be any better, it gets better. All the time, every day it just keeps improving and that is a damn cool thing.
Sometimes I feel like I live a charmed life. I'm incredibly blessed but I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't insist on always doing what I love - personally and professionally.
Rella said something to me yesterday that applies here:
"You only live once. Be honest and true to your heart and feelings. You'll make the right decisions."
I'd like to add that being honest and true to yourself is oooooooohhhhhh soooooooooooo worth it.
Don't just sit there...LIVE!

Wow, congratulations! You exude positivity (is that a word? opposite of negativity), and it attracts good things to you, I believe.
I'm SOooooo with you on this. It sounds like we like to do the same type of things (big surprise, eh?) I'm known for being able to look at a situation (process, etc.) and make it better through technology.
In my last review, my manager told me that I was a "leader of thought". Do you know how huge that was to me? Well, it was huge!
Good for you for grabbing the ring and running with it. I do a lot of that myself and have never regretted it.
Damn, I wish we were neighbors.
Ooh, that's exciting. Good for you. :)
