Life is what happens when you're too busy planning something else.

It's interesting that I was just writing about being busy with my reports and planning milestones for my department for 2006 and here comes an offer for a career move and I suddenly have to leave my team. Well, so much for setting goals.

I think it's about time I step out of my comfort zone anyway. Also, with me leaving my post, someone from my team can have a chance of being the department manager. It's just sad to think that after I've polished the systems and set up smooth procedures with help, of course, from my very talented staff, I have to relinquish the reins and move on to another department.

Maybe the bosses did find my work on the production department a success they want me to do the same for another department. Ha! Or maybe they just don't know what they're thinking giving me a new team to manage. Truth is, no leader could have done much good without the cooperation of the team. I am just blessed enough to be given a team of very creative people who believed not only in me but also with the visions of the company.

I'm still not that ready to give away my post to someone else but it's also exciting knowing that the person taking over my position is a great friend and also very much talented. I just know for sure we will be great working side by side.

If you remember I made an entry just before 2005 ended that when a door closes, a new door opens. For me, the new open door leads to a rather unchartered territory that's definitely out of my comfort zone but with it comes a promise of very great returns. Good luck to all of us and blessed be.
