All good things must come to an end…
…but, are they good by the time they end? This past Wednesday was my last day of my QA job after 5 years.
I remember how excited I was when I got the job with this company. But, the excitement soon passed, the real work began and on came the stress. I’m sure this will also happen with my new position. It’s not that I’m a pessimist, it’s just that’s how these things generally progress.
I’m not big on change. I’m a very routine oriented individual. I am happy, though…and very, very ready for this one. I cried when I was saying my goodbye’s on Wednesday. It was sad, but I was fine and jubilently proclaiming I was unemployed on Thursday and Friday. So, Monday I start the new job…FINALLY!!!!
Thursday, one of the girls from work sent me an email. It was a radio program she had listened to when she left one of her jobs. It was about this woman who had some interesting thoughts on the word quit and quitting in general. She said something to the effect that quitting is nothing to be frowned upon…but, in fact quits are the driving force of everything we do that’s good. Everything new starts with quitting something ‘old’, for the most part.

I did browse the site and listed to some of the old ‘This American Life’ programs recorded…I must say, very interesting. I’m a fan.
