I’m sure you’ve noticed that posts have been few and far between since I’ve returned from my trip and started my new job. I knew, deep down, that it would come to this, but I’ve been dreading writing this post and making it official.
After a year and a half of blogging, I’m going to call it quits. It’s been incredibly fun and rewarding. I just don’t have the time to do all the things I need to do — handle my new workload, spend time with friends and family, and have a bit of me time left over.
This blog has been an amazing creative outlet, and I’ve learned a ton. I’ve also enjoyed getting to know many of you, and I appreciate all the support that you guys have shown me.
It is a difficult thing to do, ending this blog, because I’ve poured endless hours and energy into it. But I enjoyed every second, and I know this is the right decision, for me, now.
“There’s a trick to the ‘graceful exit.’ It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over — and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out.”

Thank you, all, and goodbye!
I took work off on Friday and spent the long weekend in Denver for a good friend’s wedding. My boyfriend and I stayed in an old Denver hotel and had such a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful, the mountains were floating in the distance, and two lovebirds got married. Sorry for the lull in posting — just now getting back into the swing of things.
More career content to follow, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share with you this piece on the writer’s decision to turn down a dream job for her kids. Interesting comments on work-life balance follow.

The post title doesn’t lie: There is an app designed to streamline your call-out-sick-for-work experience when you’re not really sick at all. It’s called Skiver and it’s available on Android — and free until February 11th.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve falsely called out sick for work before. It seems like a lot of others have too, based on the comments to this post.

I’m on vacation until Wednesday, so none of the biting journalism and hard-hitting social commentary you’ve come to expect from Jane Has A Job until then.
And by that, I mean no more posts on scarves for a few days.
But in the meantime, check out these great links from around the web.
