Quick Update on the Job Front (I HAVE ONE!!)

Just wanted to send out a quick update to let you all know that I was offered a really great contract job today with Comcast as an Operations Manager/Technical PM for their latest IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) product which they are hoping to start deploying this year.

This is a great job for me as it combines my technical skills in the cable industry as well as my software development management skills (as a ScrumMaster in case you've heard me talk about that before!), plus the job is 2 miles from our house, plus it's a great hourly rate, plus there's a good chance it could transition into an employee position in the future.  I'm thinking it will be a contract position up to a year, but I'll just have to wait and see how that plays out.

So, thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts!!  This week has been a crazy week with so much job activity that I felt pretty sure something would happen soon, but I was very surprised by how fast this happened!  I also ended up getting a verbal offer from the company in Boulder that I had been through 3 rounds of interviewing, but their offer was significantly lower than what I was making in my last job and what this new contract opportunity will pay.  So, that in combination with the fact that we would really have to look into moving to Boulder (its almost 100 miles round trip from our house to that office), it wasn't a tough decision.

I'm supposed to start a week from Monday, May 14th, so now I get to take a week to just relax, destress and maybe get some of my house projects done!  I've also mentioned Faith's surgery to the hiring manager in an email to see whether it will be okay for me to take two weeks off so soon, or if it would be best to try to reschedule the surgery.  I need to be flexible and I think we can manage to postpone Faith's surgery to either later this summer or even longer if we need to.

Best to everyone,
Robin
