Time for a change?
( personal life | updates | work )I've been quite for quite some time now. It's certainly not from a lack of activity...
Over the past couple of months I have:
- Went to California and had an absolute blast with Dave at Comicon
- Made a trip to Errol to visit Jen's parents
- Went camping with Shane in Vermont and established a new camp site.
- Went to the final regular season game at Fenway (to go along with hitting the home opener earlier this year)
- Went down to Baltimore with Matt and Brian to visit with our friend Joel and catch the last 4 games of the season
While all of that has been going on, work had been pretty much the same. We've been struggling along with a crippled QA team while the contractors come up to speed and at the same time we've had an unusual amount of serious customer related issues. That's why when Matt told me about a position opening up at the Harvard-MIT Data Center, where he works, I jumped at the opportunity to interview. After two visits, they made me an offer I simply couldn't refuse, so at the end of the month I will be leaving my current position at Softech.
I'm really looking forward to this new position. I'll be able to work directly with people I genuinely like, have a short commute (at least when I'm not visiting Jen), and be able to get my butt in gear and start pursuing my Masters Degree.
Hopefully now that I'm winding down I'll have a little more free time to post here and get back on a regular posting schedule, but I've said that before so we'll see what happens...
