A new job!!

So, I have started a new job with a small company down in Vienna. So far, I am really getting a good vibe on the company. The client site I am working at is up in Maryland, but so far, not alot of traffic, hooray!! I am so anxious to jump in and start doing my thing, but with all government sites, there is a certain amount of red tape that has to be dealt with, and that is why I am working from home, again, this week. Ok, there are worse things.

I had my first kick off meeting today, and as we all sat down, I caught site of a guy across the table, and he I. It took me a good 5 minutes before I realized who he was. LOL! It was an ex! Someone I dated for a couple of months years ago. It was SO surreal to have my dating life hit my work life! I guess its bound to happen. Just another example of the ridiculous luck that I have.

2 more days until my trip to Louisville and the craziness that is the Kentucky Derby! Hooray!

Happy Days are here again!

The weather is finally warming up, thoughts of beaches and, more importantly, beach bodies are all I can think about right now. Oh, yeah, and a new job. . . hooray! I have finally secured a new job that will challenge me, make me work (do what you say? mark? work? not chat and email all day long!?) Yes, it has finally happened, and I couldn't be more pleased about it. The new company is RightStar Systems down in Vienna, VA. Small company, but focused on the kind of work that I want to do . . .Remedy Development. I am super excited to finally have a focus, to have a career path that makes sense to me, and allows me to utilize all kinds of skills that have sat wallowing in my subconscious, waiting to break free and grow.

Not only will I be doing development, but will also be able to conduct product demo's for possible customers, teach classes on different applications, and travel. . . all over the place. . .hooray. Theater will have to take a back seat for a little while. I plan on keeping my hand in the pot, helping back stage, or on set construction, costumes something to keep in the game, and keep connected with my theater friends, but its now time for me to focus on the career.

Its a scary prospect, not acting for a while, but I think I will be ok, there's always karaoke right? Ha!
