How are Dolly Parton and The 10 Year Plan Connected?

Shortly before Greg departed on the 10 Year Plan, his Wyndham colleagues hosted a lovely send-off with kind words and thoughtful gifts.  One "gift" was a song worth sharing.

As you probably know, whenever you leave a job, anything that might go wrong afterward is, of course, your fault.  While you might be missed, you will be remembered and blamed for a variety of problems you left behind:  "the food in the cafeteria is boring", "the elevators are always broken", "the women's restroom is messy".  You get the drift.  

This is where Dolly Parton comes in.  Years ago, she wrote a wonderful and poignant song about leaving.  The song has been famously covered since.   As you will hear, the updated lyrics written and sung by Stratis Pridgeon capture what happens whenever you leave a job.

All in good fun.  Enjoy!   Click here.
