All good things...

That is the title of the last ST:TNG episode, which also happens to be my favorite. It also fits into this post perfectly.

I'm leaving WHAS-TV after 2 and a half years of dedicated service. I'm going to be working for a company called SkyWay USA, which is a rural broadband Internet service provider. I'm building their new Internet service from the ground up. It's a great new job, and a heck of a new challenge.

That being said, I'm sad to be leaving WHAS. I've made alot of friends here over the past two years, and I hate the thought of not seeing them on a daily basis. I've been told that my leaving will have a dramatic effect on the station ... and it very well may. Ultimately, there will be someone who will replace me and life will go on. I only hope that I'm leaving a legacy for someone else to follow.

Alot of the people that have come before me have left on bad terms and/or the people didn't care for them that much. I've heard horror stories about these people, and even worse I've had to clean up the mess that they left behind.

If anything, I hope that history will look back on my time here at the station, and it will be remembered as a good thing. I hope that I have left a lasting impression on my co-workers, my bosses, and perhaps even at Belo corporate. I received an e-mail from a counterpart at one of our sister stations saying that "while I didn't know you, you are well known." What a good feeling.
