Two hours in to a mandatory all-hands evening meeting, the hospital manager announced my departure.

First she announced the departure of a senior member of the vet tech team, an indefatigable young woman who’s always doing eight things at once. The hospital manager practically spoke a eulogy for this girl. She was nearly in tears. They’re VERY sad to see her go.

Then she said “and Dr Smith is also leaving, and her last day is at the end of the month.” The contrast could not have been more stark. I should have left a year ago. I was crazy to stay this long, and now I feel a lot more confident that I’m doing the right thing.

The reaction from the room was a whole bunch of “awwww!” So I know some folks will be sorry to see me go. (I am guessing that in particular the receptionists are going to notice. Tons of clients actually ask for me. My appointment notes say “requested CJS” pretty frequently.)

On to bigger and better things.
