    Ha! I’ve written those words so many times, I’ve lost count. Thankfully, I am very happy with current employer who shall remain nameless … :-)

    Laura, ha! Are you sure?

    But yeah, I loved writing those words! I wish I had the opportunity to have written them more often.

    Congratulations. Hope your new gig is great and that you won’t want to – or have to – write those words again for quite some time.

    Congratulations!! It is nice to start anew, but I consider myself very fortunate in that I like my job, and I love where I do it.

    I hope this new opportunity is everything you hope it will be.

    Zen, ha! My plan is not to have to write those words for another 3-5 years.

    But you know how to make God laugh?

    Make a plan.
