Quitting / Beginning

March 11, 2008

I quit my job at Eventful a week and a half ago.

Shannon had been encouraging me to leave for a long time, for a variety of reasons that I won’t go into here. She was right (as usual), but I had to learn for myself, the hard way.

After a few months of failing to shoehorn myself into my role at the company, I realized that I should simply get rid of the shoe. Shannon’s thrilled and I’m really happy.

Now I’m taking some time to focus on a few creative and personal goals that I’ve been neglecting, all of which I’ll be writing about here. To give you an idea of what I have in store, expect a lot of posts about silk screening, surfing, entrepreneurship, and local food.

It took me a long time to figure it out, too.

I’m really happy for you, Jed.

I was wondering when you’d take up blogging again. I’m glad to see you’re back in the saddle.

Every so often in life we encounter someone or something that forces us to reject the past and accept the future. I am that someone.
