The long goodbye

March 14, 2006

I officially turned in my resignation yesterday, and today my boss gave the word that I can start letting people know. It’s kinda bittersweet–I’m happy with this new opportunity but at the same time there are many things and many people I will miss here at CNET.

Definitely going to miss wearing t-shirts and jeans every day. My new job isn’t quite suit-and-tie but at the very least I will have to dress business casual. Probably a tie, I’m not quite sure about that. Luckily I have a ton of ties from my brief stint as an analyst. My suits and shirts from those days no longer fit so those will have to be replaced but the ties are still fine.

I’ll miss the people too, dedicated folks who really do seem to care about the product they’re building. I wish them nothing but the best of luck, and I intend on remaining a member of the TechRepublic.com Web site.

I’ve boomeranged once before back to CNET, but this time feels different. I don’t think I’ll be coming back this way again. It’s been a helluva ride. Haven’t enjoyed all of it of course, but overall it’s been fun.
