So long HGO

Filed under: Life through my lens,They Don't Pay Me Enough — base2wave @ 10:04 pm

I’ve been reticent to blog anything about this until it was effectively all said and done [And frankly too pensive to write anything else], all parties informed, and now that I have submitted my paperwork it’s time for the official announcement:

Today I resigned from HGO to take a new job elsewhere.

After six years as Network Administrator/Systems Manager at HGO, I decided it was time to move on and this opportunity was too good to pass up. This, suffice to say, was not an easy decision. I’d made HGO part of my family [and as with all family you go through bouts where you really want them to drive of a damn cliff]. But I suppose it’s time to leave the nest or some other shitty, tired cliche.

I’m torn between elation and relief [as the job has been increasingly breaking my spirit as of late] and some sadness [It's not unlike a divorce really]. But I know in my heart it was the right decision.

I am sadly not at liberty to discuss where I my new position will be [as I am replacing someone who does not know they are being replaced], but will make an announcement after I get there.

I’m really not sure what else there is to say at this point. I’m emotionally and physically tired. But things are looking good. Thank you everyone for your well wishes and good vibes during this time. I hope to celebrate with each of you soon.

  3. Yay!! Very happy for you. And you know, while this is a somewhat bittersweet move, even for all of the hell and frustration you have dealt with at times there, it makes sense as you’ve done so much and had HGO as so much a part of your identity at this point. You haven’t done anything else professionally before and while you know it is time to move on, it’s got to be a bit disconcerting to think of being somewhere other than the only place you’ve ever been.
    I am very happy for you, dear, and I can’t wait to hear more about it.

    Also, let’s make plans to hang out? I would like to see you & L while she’s here.
