8 Years On...Still Going Strong

I haven't looked at this blog in over 8 years and somehow found it again tonight.

What's weird is the previous entry I wrote back in November of 2008 was a weird epiphany - I only wanted to stay at Exel for a few months until I found something better.

Well, 8+ years later -- my time at Exel is coming to an end on December 31st.  We're closing.

Well let me rephrase that...

Exel is shutting down because they lost their contract with Kelloggs that they have had for almost 25 years.  As a consequence, there is another packaging company taking over January 2nd...Belvika Packaging and Trade Ltd.

I am going over with them in the transition because hey...if I haven't left Exel in the 8+ yrs I was there (7 years as a long suffering temp...and 1 1/2 years with Exel proper) then I was never leaving.

So along with a handful of current co-workers, we are switching on Monday...

So as one door closes, another opened.

I can't wait for 2016 to end...so much bad things happened this year.  I hope 2017 is better.
