It is official.

I'm leaving my current employer.

Kind of a crazy thing, but seems that the next thing promises to be a grand adventure.

I got a call, out of the blue, from the coursware contracts firm I left to join my current employer with an offer of a significant promotion (project lead), a 20k payraise, and only 30 hours in the office a week.

After some hemming and hawing (wondering mostly if I'm making a deal wit the devil by returning) I've signed the contract, put in my two weeks notice, and arranged for a drug testing appointment.

It took about ten minutes for word of my departure to spread to all corners of my current professional universe. There has been a lot of crying and awkward hugs that last too long, begging, and even some arbitrary threats to self-harm if I really go through with leaving.

I jokes. Everyone seems glad for me, and I don't detect a collective sigh of relief that the burden of my presence is finally relieved... at least not yet anyway.  Leaving the party on a high note is the coolest.  "You've been a great crowd.  I love you guys. Remember to tip your waitress, and don't drink and drive."

Booya.

Cosmic Love

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind.

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

In in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shaddow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Thenk I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shaddow of your heart.
