MasterPlans: A Eulogy

<p>This is the only professional home I&rsquo;ve ever known. In fact, I&rsquo;ve worked here longer than anyone else has &mdash; even the founders. (If that doesn&rsquo;t make sense, keep reading.)</p> <p>In 2005, when I finally networked my way into a phone call with the CEO, I was elated to land an interview for a &ldquo;real writing job&rdquo; &mdash; that&rsquo;s what I wanted to do with my English degree, after all. I&rsquo;d been a de facto paralegal for a big law firm ever since I graduated from college, but that was more of a grind than a creative endeavor. Plus it was time to stop living with my parents.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ll be 44 soon; my liver is even older. I&rsquo;m a homeowner now (but don&rsquo;t worry, I still check in on my folks). I&rsquo;m a devoted spouse to a cancer survivor and an imperfect father to two challenging but incredible daughters.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@william.dean/masterplans-a-eulogy-8ba5b61212ba"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
