Kristi has accepted a job with HamptonRoads.com!!! Later this week she will begin working as an online producer for this Virginian-Pilot affiliate. She finally has an opportunity to work for the Interactive Media Department. Here she'll begin to use and improve her online communication skills. She's been dabbling in wedding photography, website design, and site management and this new job should give her plenty of opportunities to learn the ins and outs of the world of online production.
It's Kristi's last day working for the Chesapeake Clipper. We just had lunch with her entire office and I can tell that she is going to miss this place. For the past 1.5 years Kristi has been working as an editorial assistant. She has been updating calendars, writing 2-3 stories a week, and quaterbacking the Close-Up column (spotlight of a unique local citizen). The job may have begun to wear on her, but it's obvious that the people had not. I'm sure that the staff baked-goods, team lunch celebrations, the nicknames, the inside jokes, and all of the special people she wrote about is what she is going to miss the most. It's not what we do in life that gives Kristi and I such joy. It's always been about who we do life with that makes all the difference. I'm thankful that she got to work with such a great team.
Kristi starts her new job, for a new town, with her new staff this Wednesday. Cross your fingers.
