Be careful what you wish for…

So like I said earlier I was re-reading some of my old posts.
Man I recall in Nov 2007 being very excited to start that new job.  Well 14 months later and I’m thinking I made a very large mistake.
The company is doing well and for the most part the people are great.  My issue is [...]

Done and done

I accepted the new company offer this AM.  So sometime between today and tomorrow I will give my notice.
It’s been a long time since I recall being this excited.  When I signed the papers this AM, they new company was very happy to see.  They told me how excited they are for my arrival.  I [...]

Interview follow up

Well that interview went extremely well and we’re working together on terms of an offer.  It looks like this will be it, after nearly a decade, 15 layoffs and two mergers I’ll be departing.  I’m real interested to see how the new management will handle my departure.  Will they kick me out the door with [...]

Interview

Well I met with a small local company yesterday that seemed like a real good fit for me.  Spent about 3-4 hours in the interview, met abut 8 people.  The position really matches my background well and I’ve never met such positive enthusiastic people in my life (or maybe it’s just that I’ve spent alot [...]

D-Day part 2

Well to day was the day.  We let go about 25% of our staff in an effort to get this new company going.  Luckily I’m one of the ones staying.  As much as I want to be energized about it, today I’m not.  We let go about six people in my area.  Most of them [...]

D-day

Well I found out that this Friday we will see who is riffed, laid-off, downsized, etc… from our new company.  As much as I am confident about not being one of them, I cannot help but feel that I might be.  In the past I typically have known more than I do now, so maybe [...]

Hard to keep up

I know it’s been awhile again.  It’s hard to keep with all the issues going on at work and how it’s running over into family life. 
8/24 – 8/26 Red Sox trounced White Sox – Yeah!!!!  8 games up on Yanks
8/28 -8/29 Red Sox lose 2 to the Yankees – Boo!!!! 6 games up – can’t [...]

Ongoing story of work

Well tomorrow is a big day for me.  I finally get to have a one-on-one meeting with the new CEO.  This should be interesting to say the least.  Then after that I have a meeting with my VP and our new CTO.  I have to believe this is all positive.  I mean if they didn’t [...]

Going on Vacation

Posts have become infrequent, I apologize for that.  With our acquisition/merger/whatever you want to call it my time has been limited.  I’m also off on vacation one last time before school starts. 
So take it easy and I’ll check back in a week or so.  Should have plenty of Rants about the Red Sox and work when [...]

What do you make of this?

So as I mentioned before we’re going through a merger/acquistion or whatever you want to call it and we have a new management team.  A new CEO, CTO, CFO, the works, all new.  We’ve had at least one company meeting with most of the new C-levels and we were told we were going to do this together.  [...]
