New Adventures

My life as an organizational development analyst is OVAH! My life as a Research Information Specialist is set to begin 5 Jan. I'm really really looking forward to this new opportunity. While the time off will be good, I can't wait to get in there and start some real work. I will continue working with Alan Lessoff on the journal, but wow - working with the Parallel Computing group is going to be fantastic!

Outside of what I think are the cool aspects of the job (the team seems really nice, the work is going to be fascinating) there are other things that make this a great opportunity:

• An office of my own, with an outside window.
• Working from home when appropriate.
• Having a career instead of a job.
  
• Being part of the team, not just an expense.
• Traveling the 85 miles one way with hubby - he already has a parking space!
• Campus life as opposed to corporate cube farm.
• Group is more open to open source technology.
• I can stream soma fm at work, in my office. :)

So, I have two weeks to enjoy before heading back to work. I plan to try and get things done around the house, we'll see how that goes...
