You are an original and you gave so much to this place while you were here. I don't think that anyone who knows you at all could have misunderstood. It was pretty obvious that you were not happy with what you were doing but you were never mean. Everyone has to walk their own path and sometimes those paths take us in different directions than the people we love. You move on and you take those friendships with you and at the same time, let go a little over time as you make new ones. Guess we are going to have to work on the letting go part a little from our end :) Not quite ready for that.... I, well, ditto what they said LOL

Figuring things out and then teaching those skills to others is definitely one of your strengths. I learned so much from you that I'll always use in any job I have. You were right to try to steer me away from the job you left, and I'm very glad that I didn't get it. I would have been totally overwhelmed and completely miserable. Paula's right...we all have to do several things until we figure out that "best fit" job/career. I'm not sure that I'll stay where I am for the rest of my career, but I know that I'm where I am for a reason. Same with you. You were here for a reason, and you've moved on for a reason. We're all better to have worked with you, and so are the people you work with now. Gee...didn't mean to get sappy, but you started it!!

I think teaching people how to fix problems was one of your strongest qualities. It's ok to take some time to figure out what is right for you by trying different jobs. It took a couple of tries for me to figure out what I should be doing. I had a couple of years playing musical jobs. I love what I am doing now but not sure I want to do it until I retire. The most important thing is to keep learning new things, keep trying to do your best and be honest with yourself about your weaknesses. I thank you for turning me into a Geek.
