Changing Jobs

I normally don’t write much about work because of the legal issues that may arise from it. However, this I do believe atleast deserves mention. As I said, I don’t talk about where I work at all so, knowing which company I’m leaving and which I’m going to is not going to be part of this entry. I will say however, that I’ve worked for the last 5 and a half years at my previous employer, and my final day will be Monday, January 23rd. I’ve learned alot over that time, and I’ve gained alot of real world experience doing stuff that I’ve always tinkered with on my own. I have left for another Linux Systems Administration job, which some of the duties will be the same, others will be entirely new. Hopefully I’ll be able to write about a few of them here and there as long as they won’t really conflick with the interests of the company. I am leaving alot of what I knew, people mostly. And while I am sad to depart, I feel it is for the best. I fell into the mantra of “over worked and underpaid” category, which finalized my descision to leave as a company reorg along with buget cutbacks were in the works. I hope that will be all, as there was also rumor of layoffs down the road. I mean you can only cut back so much right? That was a bit of a joke on my part… and while I can’t get into specifics, I do hope that those that possibly will get layed off are able to find work again as this whole process has really made me think about such things, and its a horrible (but in some cases a necessity) thing. Anyway, just to log this for future reference and posterity, there you have it.
