New Job

It's official! I have given my notice to CentraView and will be starting at GSI Commerce on March 7th. I will miss working with Mike and Kevin, but this is definitely the best thing for me and my new family.

The team I will be working with at GSI seems nice and after I started interviewing there I found out a couple ex-colleagues from ASPRE are already working there. That should make the transition that much easier.

I am very happy the job search is over. I had a number of recruiters call me for different positions. Some that sounded very interesting, others that were nowhere close to what I was looking for. Sorting through job searches on Monster and other job sites was very time consuming also.

When I found the ad for the GSI job it seemed to contain everything I was looking for. It was local, required Linux skills and involved e-Commerce. All things that I have good experience with and have enjoyed working on in the past. The interview process took some time, but Blair and Patty from The Computer Merchant were great at keeping me informed and up2date on where I stood.

I hope to post more in the future about my career advancement at GSI, or where ever my future takes me.

My Birthday

Today is my birthday. It seems like any other day to me, especially since I'm at work. At least I have off Friday to spend a long weekend skiing. If any of you forgot about my birthday and are looking for a last minute gift, I have compiled a nice wish list just for such an occasion. If nothing there tickles your fancy a beer will do. I'm married now, I can't just go around tickling people's fancies anymore... ;-)
