My last day at the "Coww" Foundation was yesterday...I'm not 100% sure where I'm headed next, but it feels nice to walk away. I felt sad as I was cleaning out my office, but mostly because of the unmet and wasted opportunities. The re-organization of the foundation meant that the fellowship program was disorganized and not thought-out. It is very unfortunate, but I really think it is due to the type of people they have brought in to lead the foundation in the last year and a half. I made several efforts to make things happen there, but it went nowhere. Ah well.
At first I was led to believe that my leaving would be "controversial" and "people" would gossip and think ill of me. But once I told people other than my supervisor, I was met with nothing but warm wishes and I daresay jealousy for getting out. I think a lot of them stayed on during the recent changes because they were too close to retirement.
