This is part 6 of a series of blogs about my career change.
Wow. I had thought maybe I’d do two posts on this topic and be done. It’s just a lot harder to sum up 11 years in a few paragraphs.
My last day with GSA was exactly two weeks ago. It’s been quite a life changing experience, full of ups and downs. The first three days were very hard and not because I don’t like my new job; I love my new job. I discovered that I am the type of person to form habits and become comfortable with a routine. My routine for the past decade was to drive to the Denver Federal Center, go to my office, sit at my computer and work on my projects… Now the office, the computer and the projects aren’t mine anymore. Weird.
Things have steadily improved over the past two weeks I am becoming more and more comfortable with my new position. It’s definitely not routine. Every day I’m looking at new challenges and learning new things. It’s exciting, scary, exhilarating, and stressful all at the same time.
And totally worth it.
To my many friends at GSA, I love you, I miss you, and I’ll see you around. It has been a wonderful 11 years.
