Leaving...

Including today, I have only 8 days left at St. Elizabeth before I head off to the new job.

It's barely 10:00 and I'm really starting to feel a little sad about leaving. I am in the process of making a list of all the user names and passwords that I need to pass off to co-workers. The person to whom I am giving most of the information does not particularly care for social media but will be undertaking all the social media stuff while the search is on for a replacement for me. (By the way, if you are reading this and looking for a marketing job in healthcare and your skill set involves an aptitude for social media, let me know!)

Anyway, I was checking all the passwords by logging into each application. As I logged into the company facebook page, I noticed that we were at 99 fans (not bad for the fact that we have done just about no promotion!). At 100 fans, we get to choose our own web address.

As I was telling my bosses this info, they started to tell me about all the people throughout the organization that are really happy that we are putting so much effort into social media.

And now I feel bad. I feel like I'm going to let people down!

But then I remember that I am not moving on for the sake of moving on. I have taken a position with a company that provides a lot more promise for fulfilling my personal goals.

I guess I'm just glad that I won't be looking back in anger (like I did after leaving Houston). I may have voiced my fair share of complaints, but I am happy to see that I have left an impression and started something for St. E that is only going to positively grow over time.
