It’s sneaking up on me.
Only eight days until I am no longer working at EyeWire. Some people are going to give me the berries about the fact that I still say that I work for EyeWire, and not for Getty Images, which is our parent company.
The main reason for this discrepancy is that for the past 20 months or so since EyeWire became part of the Getty Images family, I’ve have never felt like I was part of anything other than EyeWire. A group of amazing people, many of whom have left the fold or are about to leave, formed EyeWire out of the ashes of what our previous parent company referred to as “a divesting of their visual content division”. I felt a part of EyeWire. I never felt a part of Getty. And right this minute, I almost don’t feel like I am part of either.
Speaking of feeling things… I used to get this oppressive, flustering cloud of anxiety floating over top of me every time I had to prepare for a trade show or a business trip. I’ve had the same feeling ever since I started trying to get all my ducks in a row before this departure. Twelve years of doing stuff that I’ve honestly enjoyed, and now I’m facing hoards of oppressive floating ducks.
