transitions
Sooo I just scored a new job as a PR Director for a big tech firm, helping grow the PR program for one of their newer divisions. It will be a good challenge for me and I'm really excited.
The tough part is telling people at my current job that I'm leaving. My timing is bad, so that doesn't help as we're hiring a new PR firm and we're going to be doing a lot of transition related to that change, much less having to transition my own work. Some people are worried about the hole I'm leaving and I can sense frustration when I mention I'm going. Many understand my reasons. Others are outright joyful that I'll be doing something good for me. But for the most part people have been sad, as I have felt--sad that I won't be working with such great people anymore.
But it's spring now and the peepers are out--I heard them yesterday. What a wonderful sound!
The crabapple and cherry trees will bloom in a few weeks and the grass is starting to pop up through the dirt. The temperature will be 70 today! Everything is poised to start bursting and blooming, to follow along the cyclical change and flux of the seasons.
It's a good time to change things up. Fall and spring always seem to represent new transitions for me. New job, new creative infusion, new possibilities.

wow that's great news, crystal. i have to say: i really admire you in this way. the last time we talked on the phone you talked about how you were thinking about leaving and how looking for a new job sucked so much. and then you just do it. so many people i know just complain for two years before deciding to embark on a change (and some never even do that: they just complain!). you don't even get to that point: you just decide it's time to move on, knowing it's time.
great great. action is so liberating!
Living in Boston really taught me what "spring fever" was all about. Jeff and I were so amused our first spring to see how people rushed outdoors on the first warm day--but by the time the next spring rolled around we were among those people!
