Happy Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful for time with my family and my little dogs.  I am also extremely thankful for another rewarding and challenging year at work. I love my job and the team I work with make every day in the office interesting and fun.  Their reliability and focus on quality are unparalleled in any of my previous positions and I truly feel at home with the group so I am hopeful for all of our continued success in 2013.  I've been in my current position for a year and today I am filling out my self-assessment performance review (and eating turkey!); I can happily report that our team exceeded many of our objectives.  Hip hip hooray, perhaps I will take the rest of the year off as a reward. ;)

Reflecting back, I regret that I didn't post some of the draft posts I wrote for this blog and that I have yet to share some of the interesting Q&A correspondence I have received through leadcra-mail@yahoo.com.  I did, however, correspond with many of the blog readers via email, helped launch the careers of two clinical trial assistants, coached an old (and awesome!) co-worker in the Pharmatimes Clinical Researcher of the year competition, and accepted a second invitation to speak at an upcoming clinical trials conference.

I feel very rich and blessed from the connections and networking I have made through this blog. There are still a mix of interesting topics and experiences I would like to share with you all.  Please trust that some new blog content is in the queue and I plan to get back to it post haste (pun intended).  Please keep the comments and emails coming as your feedback makes this project so much more fulfilling.  Thank you again for your continued readership and support.  Happy Thanksgiving!
