New Beginnings
Finally gave my letter of resignation to M|cr050ft this morning! I recieved a great offer for a new position with another company, finnaly leaving technical support again for pre-sales and archetecture consulting which is on track for where I want to be growing the career. And a nice fat raise. :) This job is still here in Dallas so I wont be moving in the near term. Lots of traveling but telecommuting when not traveling, which means I dont have to rush through lunch-break workouts any more! Hazzzah!
And what a great labor day weekend. Spent the long weekend with my Girlfriend at her place in Phoenix. I was supposed to fly friday evening, but beacuse I knew I would be giving my notice today, I said 'Fuck-it!' and just called out disinterested (sick LOL) from work on friday and hopped on stand-by for a flight thursday night and managed to get a seat. It was about 110 degrees most days in Phoenix but it was great. Spent hours drinking and relaxing in/by her pool, went out to dinner with some friends for some kick ass sushi.
Saturday morning (early!) boating with her brother. Tried wake boarding for the first time... just couldnt manage to get up on the board. Spent most of the time dragging my face in the water. LOL I almost had it too. I'll get the hang of it next time.
Sunday my baby suprised me by booking us the night at a fantastic resort only 30 mins away which was exactly as it's name described "Carefree". :)
After my last day this friday, I'm flying back out to phoenix to spend my week off before the new job with her. That week will end with a trip to L.A. on the last weekend to attend a wedding we already planned to.
Then I'm off to Portsmouth, NH to the headquarters of the company I'll be working for for training and orientation, etc which is great beacuse it gives me time to drive to Mass to see the family!
What a great month September is shaping up to be! :)
