I’ve spent the morning cleaning out my office and am surprised at how much crap I’ve accumulated in just 11 short months.

A friendly reminder to those of you who call me: my current phone number goes away this afternoon. I will let you know when I have my new cell phone.

Speaking of music, I thank my lucky stars I was able to purchase tickets yesterday to see Death Cab for Cutie and Ben Folds. Two separate shows that sold out rather quickly.

You may have heard rumors and rumblings about my job situation. They’re true!

I’ve accepted a position as a public affairs specialist with Cox Communications in Omaha. My last day with Leslie Kline Lukas & Associates is Friday. My first day with Cox is Feb. 20.

I have enjoyed my time with LKL&A but am excited to gain valuable corporate public relations experience with Cox.

Wish me luck!
