This blog has a history of announcing significant events on December 31, such as in 2006 and 2007. This year another significant milestone approaches.
December 31 is my last day with my current company; January 1 is my first day with my new company. This is actually true for my entire business unit as, with the stroke of an electronic pen, we start the new year as a new company…albeit in the same building, the same offices and in the same business we’ve been in. How remarkably simple, right?
Too bad our computers, administrative systems, marketing materials, website and strategic plans can’t be instantly transformed with the same electronic swish. My job puts me at the center of both internal and external communications for this change and the days are too few and the hours way too long and there’s even been some travel involved. Oh, and I’m speaking this weekend at our Inside Outfitters meeting (the annual December Christmas cookie distribution to the guys from Teen Challenge) and I will lead a Christmas Eve service at the Red Wing Correctional Facility next week. I have been “missing” from this blog, but even more so from the home front. I have high hopes and expectations, however, of more involvement in both after the first of the year. I have much to make up for with my family; not so much with the blog, but I should be more visible.
In the meantime, you might want to check back here again on the 31st; there might be another development you’ll want to know about.
Ok, I have an idea of what I think it MIGHT be so I’m just going to cross my fingers and hope that what I’m thinking has happened is what has actually happened!
(Because it would be AWESOME if it did. 🙂 )
