Now It Can Be Told
Some of you have noticed content getting a little sparse around here. While it’s been exaggerated recently by my Atlanta/Miami adventures and failure to crosspost all my Fanblogs stuff, it’s been an off-and-on problem since February, when some massive changes took place at the office and sent most of my group scurrying toward Monster.com. We’ve lost roughly one programmer per month since then.
And now it’s my turn to depart. After eight months of looking, including phone interviews with five organizations and on-sites with three, I’ve accepted a Senior Programmer position with a contracting firm in Tysons Corner, working on the client’s site in Bailey’s Crossroads. In two weeks, I’ll be leaving Short Pump and Richmond behind, heading in the direction I’ve wanted to go since I graduated from Tech.
So what does this mean for BTN? Well, the little block at top-left will have a new “Current time in” location, once I narrow it down past “somewhere in 703-land.” I should have a bit more time to write now, depending on how much of my newly-acquired free time is eaten up by traffic (early guess: a lot). Expect the odd complaint about cost-of-living, some early road-geekery as I get my commute figured out, some political observations (well, of course — I am moving even closer to DC), and no commentary on work whatsoever.
I’ll miss the office here in Richmond and the co-workers I’ve worked with since I was a freshman in college (and, oh yeah, the associate discount). But it’s time for me to head somewhere north.
So, anyone up for an Expos Senators Grays ticket package?
