this week has pushed me harder than any single week in my professional career. it all culminated this morning. we hugged. we cried. and they departed. the 11th floor will never be the same. this afternoon the laughter was missing and the love was gone. we were co-workers, friends, and family. many have have had several roles within the confines of what starts as a playground and finishes like a prison every 30 days. month in and month out we performed....we left it all on the table. that chemistry will never be replicated.
i am grateful. what a fierce group of loyal individuals that trusted me to lead them for the last three and a half years.
the next four months will be different with just "my boys." today, we proved again our dedication to each other. we wiped each others tears (yes, even the boys had a hard time) and drank each other's beer...and we made it. here is to months of working long days, nights, holidays, and weekends.
