I interviewed for a training position with a major electronics firm recently, and I’m happy to say I got the gig! 🙂

It’s a little bit of a shift from what I was doing – before I was training strictly computer systems and servers, and now I’ll be training an entire array of consumer-based electronics and goods. But man, it’s going to be sweet! Writing and producing trainings on things like DVD players, microwaves, and TVs? **Bring it on!**

I was really getting tired of the hierarchy and red tape related to my last gig. I swear, I feel as if a massive Blue-shaped weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Anyway, I haven’t got a reason in the world to share, except I’m so excited about the new position. (Well, and it’s vaguely mundane and pointless…so why not?)

What a great way to begin 2005! Think I’ll celebrate with a Yoo Hoo. 😃

Does that mean you get to take home to “test” all the new toys?

If so, that’s Excellent.

Either way it’s excellent, but if you get new toys (even for only a short time), it deserves a capital “E”.

Congratulations. 🙂
