After nearly four years at the helm here at Silver Seven Sens, it’s time to say goodbye. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to balance being the manager here with the next steps in my life, and I’d rather make sure someone’s at the helm who can give the site the attention it needs.
I’m not really one for goodbyes. For one, in the digital age, they hardly seem genuine. They also quickly turn awkward. Telling people you’re leaving often turns into them thinking you’re asking for praise in return. But I also think that after nearly four years here, it doesn’t seem fair for a piece to go up tomorrow searching for a new site manager without a bit of warning and without me expressing just how much I’ve enjoyed being here.
