After a successful/stressful two years of running my own business here in China, I decided to get back into the corporate world. It’s been a long time because I wanted the _right_ job/career instead of anyone who would have me and could cut a check. Well, today, I signed the contract for a great job based out of Shanghai with a regional responsibility.

Woohoo! China Guy does the happy dance. 🆒

I really don’t want to say more about the company because I do value my privacy. I start real soon and will be in the US for a while. I’ll probably take a break from the boards for a time or cut way back on my surfing. It’s nothing personal, just a change of priorities. After all, they own me now. :o

A round of beers says you’ll be sick of it real soon, and you’ll be back here. Either way, there is a rumor going round that people on salaried positions **are** allowed to hang out out on the boards from time to time, so don’t feel you have to vanish.

And congrats!
