This was my day today

• I confirmed with my manager that I was quiting my job
• My surviving grandmother had a (mild) heart attack
• My mother had an unrelated heart procedure done
• My mother got scheduled for open heart surgery tomorrow
• I heard from a cousin that I hadn’t seen in years from a comment on this blog.

All in all, the day was definitely net negative. The first was probably the toughest decision to quit that I’ve ever made, the last was pretty cool, and the other three made me remember the kind of things that are important in life and remind me how much of a difference Leslie makes.

For those of you involved in some way in my finding, getting, or agonizing about the new job, thank you very much. For anyone else interested, the company is pretty stealth at the moment, but expect some kind of blog post in the next couple of months.
