New Job
I have a new job! Well, sort of… On Friday, my boss approached me about a job opening in the company and thought I would be a good candidate for it. This was a position I’ve had my eye on for a while, so I immediately said I was interested. The job was posted intra-company and three candidates expressed interest. Interviews were on Tuesday and I was offered the position today!
And now I’m exhausted. I’ll be splitting my time 50/50 between my current job and new for a while, so it’s going to be crazy. Both jobs are in the same department (Data Management), so it’s a horizontal move, but I will be going back to one of my loves - web programming. Yay! It won’t be web programming like I’ve done before, but it’s still web-oriented, so that’ll do.
It’s gonna be tough for a while, getting trained on and learning new things while still trying to keep most of my current workload, but I think it’s a great opportunity.
Two years with the company and this is my third job there…I really would like to stay in a position long enough to become an expert, but with opportunities such as this, it’s hard to stay in one place.

Good luck with that. We are looking at moving a lot of our programs over to web based applications. Unfortunately, most of the programming will be done in Java or Coldfusion….but it’s better than mainfraiming it
I haven’t gotten the chance to work on one of our new projects, but hopefully I will soon!!

Ooh, I didn’t spell mainframe right….not that mainframing is a word, but at least I could have gotten the base word spelling correct. Oh well!

What language are you going to be using?

Unfortunately, I’ll still be using SAS, the SCL flavor. Wish I could get back into Perl…

Congrats Chris! Isaac says hi and congrats as well. I hope they don’ work you too much and that they do find a replacement on the other side. Doing two jobs as one is not a lot of fun.
Good luck and keep us posted.
