Change

There's no easy way to talk about this without just saying it...Friday, December 4 will be my last day at The Garland Group. I've decided to start on a different adventure that I'll talk about more as it gets closer.

Before I move on, I do want to expend just a few 1s and 0s on just how much I have enjoyed working at The Garland Group. Honestly, if I were to really get into every inch I've enjoyed, you'd probably think this "Garland Group" place doesn't really exist...it's just a fairy tale I've made up to make other work environments look silly.

You probably wouldn't believe that you can work next to someone that's in a different state or complete projects without ever formalizing work hours. You'd never imagine that encouraging people to go to the grocery store in the middle of a Tuesday could lead to results above expectations. You'd think there is no way a small company headquartered in the Dallas suburbs could change the way an industry thinks and talks about Compliance and that Security could involve more Collaboration than combinations.

Yes. I suppose it does sound a little far fetched, but it's been my reality. It's a tough place to say goodbye to and a hard group to part ways with. I have very much enjoyed my time at The Garland Group and though I am very excited about what is on the horizon, I'd be kidding myself if I said I won't miss it.
