Decisions

Life is full of them. Decisions.

I have started looking for a new job. This has been one of the hard decisions. I currently thrive and enjoy working at Washington State University. The opportunities and learning that have been available to me there have been priceless. Unfortunately the university and the organization has been going through a lot of changes. I am not afraid of change and believe that with change comes opportunity. What I am noticing is that the changes that are being made are not going to lead me to the bright and happy place that I always imagined.

So is it time to move on? I guess that is what we are waiting to see. I feel there is still so much that I could offer the university. I started looking about a week ago and have had one offer already. The offer involved me moving to Colorado. I love Colorado and would be willing to move but not to take a cut income. With the side work and salary work I do here not to mention family and friends moving was not the responsible thing to do.

I have entered into the second phase of the interview process with another local company and may have another decision to make here in the coming weeks.

Another department on campus has also contacted me and I will be interviewing with them next week. So with all these changes and decisions I look at my current situation like a new chapter in a book. You know the feeling were you finish one chapter of a book but it is so good that you cannot wait to find out what comes next. That is how I feel about my life right now. I am so thankful for my wife and all my family for the support and strength they are to me.

Stay tuned for the next chapter.
