Last Day
Today was the last day of another chapter in my life, the chapter as an employee at PPD.
A little over two weeks ago, after much prayer, thought and discussion, I accepted a position at Medpace and turned in my resignation at PPD. I can’t believe how quickly those two weeks went by. I didn’t have any time to relax, as I worked hard right up until the last minute trying to leave things in the best shape I could for those taking over my workload. I even ended up with a sore, scratchy throat last week as a result of all the talking I was doing, mainly due to training, both as my job and for my replacements. It wasn’t until yesterday that it really dawned on me the end was so near. Leaving today was bittersweet. It’s hard leaving friends that I’ve spent 8+ hours a day working with over the past three years. I’ll be seeing many of them in the near future, though, and plan to keep in touch as we part company.
I have the rest of this week off, which I fully plan to take advantage of by doing absolutely nothing except stay up late and sleep in. This coming Monday I start my new job.
The page turns on a new chapter. Only God knows what’s in store for this one, but I can’t help but feel doors opening and that much excitement and adventure await.

Congratulations on the new job and winding up an old one. I feel you on leaving friends and co-workers that you have gained respect for and and enjoy being around, but you can always maintain those friendships and networks for the future.
Enjoy your week off, but be careful getting your schedule too out of control. It may make it hard to get up Monday morning.
You are correct only God knows what is in store around the next corner and segment of life. He has a plan and it will provide us a prosperous life as long as we follow His will. Best wishes on the new adventures.
