The Bomb is Dropped
10:56 AM on Mar 27, 2008

I announced my resignation from my current employer, where I am a web programmer, this week. I've already accepted an offer from another company and am going to start there near the end of April. It turns out I am able to get out of here after the first week of April, which means I have 3 weeks of blissful between-jobs vacation!!! There's no better vacation than the one that comes between jobs because you're actually looking forward to what comes after, whereas any other situation you're generally loathing having to go back.

Barring catastrophic luck, my Obutto cockpit will be here by next week and so my 3 weeks off are going to be PACKED with daytime racing and merriment free of anyone around to nag me for not showing her enough attention. I expect to be the laziest useless blob of a human being for this coming period and I am SO looking forward to it.

LOL!

Grats on the time off and the new job. Hope the new job is all that you hope it to be!

Those 3 weeks alone give you enough reason to change jobs often : )

What programming languages do you use? Congrats on the new job.

Thanks guys.

Jimmy: I've been primarily a php developer doing web applications generally with mysql backends but at the new job I will have to dabble in some older perl code occasionally as well, which will be a fun challenge as I've never really worked with it in the past and a change of languages is often a nice refresher for the brain.
