Once more, into the great wide open.
It's been entirely too long since I've posted here. 2013 was a rough year, and one I'm (mostly) happy to see in the rearview mirror. One of the highlights though is that I'm happy happy happy in my role back as a full-time employee. Yes, I've taken down the consulting shingle and have settled in with one, just one, company. And if that sounds a bit like marriage, well, then it's not a surprise to hear that I had to really think about it before taking the plunge, cause I"m a bit of a committment phobe. I'd like to blame it on my type (ENTP in the Myers Briggs universe, Orange/Green in True Colors), but that may not be all of it. The Great Recession was hard on types like me who grew organizations, only to shrink them back down again. I did it 4 times in a row, in the span of 3 years, before I said "Enough!" and started consulting.
So, it's really about being confident that the happy is really here, and that I can trust it. It is, and I do. I love my company (Rocket Fuel), the work I get to do, and the team I get to do it with. Life is good. So, Cheers to fresh starts, and to good times, and to welcoming in the happy. Here's to more of it, for all of us!
