How did I end up sitting on the living room floor with my laptop, drinking an eggnog latte, surrounded by boxes and papers and ’stuff’ planning a move across country?
I dunno.
Actually I do know. I started with a discussion about an exciting position within my corporate parent company. That led to more discussions and then meetings and then interviews and then… an offer.
The new position however was contingent on moving back to the Washington DC area, where I started out 3 years ago, before becoming a telecommuter and moving to Las Vegas.
I really love Las Vegas. I love the weather and the scenic views and the hiking and golfing and action. But having a fulfilling job is actually worth leaving the excitement and beauty of Vegas.
So here I am, planning my move, purging parts of an old life, determined to start a new and purposeful life.
I am Jodi Gersh, the new Content Manager / Social Media for Gannett Digital and I will be back in the DC area by mid December. In time for a cold winter and an eventful inuaguration.
Here I go………..

Hey Jodi–this is Brian and Carolyn. Actually it’s Carolyn and I’m writing for Brian because he’s on a conference call at work and I’m goofing off at work. Anyway, I read a blog post by Chris Brogan about Gannett. I forwarded it to Brian to see if he knew anyone mentioned in it. And he’s like, “yeah, Jodi!” So then I clicked to read your blog and then I see you’re moving back to D.C. so congrats on the new job and when you get back, please look us up!
Thanks Carolyn (and Brian). Will definitely be in contact when I get back. Should be there mid December. Chat soon!
Go for it !!! Keep Moving Forward !! – Lewis Robinson
