I've Accepted a new Full-Time Job

Yup. I finally did it. I'm back in the grind for the full-time long haul now. I really did miss being around colleagues and people in general.



The first 5 months of this year were famine months (very very little work). I felt like I had cabin fever. Rich noticed a very significant change in my mood as well.



Most recently (and right now until the end of the month actually), I've been working at my old "Alma Mater" of Business Objects (Crystal as some of you remember it). Well, at the halfway point in my contract (end of June) they were starting to court me for a full-time position.



And today, I finally signed on. I start officially as an employee at the beginning of August.



Now before you go all "but you hated what they did to you", I agree with you. Yes, I did. But that was a completely different team and a whole different organization. Quite literally, I'm as far from that team as possible. I now get to work doing what I wanted to do all along. Report Design. I am what is called a Content Developer and I will be in charge of all reports designed for an online product.



I'm very excited. There is a good possibility for management as well. I miss that also.



Oh yeah. And also, just cuz I'm back working there doesn't mean I took what happened to me laying down. My contract negotiations were entertaining and I'm very happy with the result. I wouldn't take what I left with - let's just leave it at that.



I am now working for the old company but doing what I want and enjoying my new life as a wife. : )

Vegas was Awesome. Camping was Great.



Congratulations to my cousin Leiana who married the love of her life Kevin on 7-7-7 .


I couldn't help but putting up this pic of Leiana all a-glow at the reception along with my two lovelies. My niece MaKayla and my nephew Sébastien.



Rich and I then headed out to Lake Koocanusa to visit with the Hunt family for a few days of good old fashioned camping.
My cousin Carla's youngest Connor decided it was "KOOL" to do the mimic thing. We howled with laughter.
Well back to the grind. Have a great weekend everyone. And remember. If you're a facebook user, I'm getting started up there. Not much yet but it'll come.
