Today is the last day of work for both Ryan and I. The feelings that we each have in relation to this event are quite different. Ryan told me this morning he has been waiting for this day for two years and two months, which is just around the time that he started working for Schwab. Ryan is a lucky man because he knows exactly what he wants to do with his life and he is taking the big steps that are necessary to get him there. Schwab was just a hurdle he had to get past and now he is ready for bigger and better things.
I on the other hand will miss the geeky place that is Interactive Intelligence. Though I have not always loved the work, the people here are one of a kind. I have built some truly wonderful friendships and I will be sad when I no longer get to see their smiling faces. Right now I am sitting in my office looking out my window as three herons bathe in the pond. In this moment it is hard to imagine a more relaxed and low key working environment, but I am excited for whatever lies ahead for me professionally.
So in conclusion, Schwab and Interactive, thanks for helping us pay our bills these last three years, at least one of us is going to miss you guys.
