An Old Cliche Returns

The more things change, the more things stay the same. The old cliche has rarely been far away from my thoughts over the years. It still comes to mind during the last five years in which I've found some stability throughout work and the other aspects of life. Even before that, I worked with some of the best people throughout the country as well. Like Jeff Goldblum's character in Independence Day, I really do believe that I was part of something special, not once, but a few times over. When you have the right mix of people and talent working together, it's kind of like magic. When the people leave, the magic can sometimes disappear.

In the last year, most of my original team at work has either moved on or have been reassigned. It really has been quite strange in that most people seek new positions within two years. Most of my team has been intact for about five years. For everyone to stick around that long, it had to be some kind of magic. With most of the team reassigned, it has been suggested that it may also be time for me to move on to other projects.

After asking several people about their work experiences, it appears that some of them never have had the opportunity to experience that special magic that I alluded to earlier. Maybe sometimes you just have to look harder. Well, I guess the search begins... As I stated earlier, the more things change, the more things stay the same. See ya.
