You can do that without changing jobs . . .

This was a revelation to me. About six months ago, I was ready to quit my current gig--I was already filling out applications and putting together my resume. And then someone made a comment at a meeting, and I thought, "Why the devil doesn't the company just --?" As of yesterday, the company does. And I'm making it happen. Nationally. From my home office, in my fuzzy slippers.

Not all companies are like this. I got to shop my idea to the CEO, CFO and division president in January (and they flew me out to a 4 star hotel to do it--sweet!) I consider that the sign of a truly good employer.

Not to be self-promotional or anything, but there's a longer account I posted yesterday on my blog, if you're interested in checking it out.
