Well, this was it. Today was my last day at the old job. It was very very bittersweet. I mean, I’m overjoyed about StreamBase. I’m over the top about my new job — I’m soo looking forward to finally doing what I love. But I leave behind at Brontes a tremendous team. The best bosses I’ve ever had (Ed and Phil), the best people I’ve ever worked with (Barbara, Joe, David, Jay, Brandon, Ilya, Rob, JQ, Justin, Adam, and more). I mean, I had a great time there. The people I worked with are second to none, and I will miss them terribly. I made some great friendships there too.
Forever, Brontes will be in my heart — this was the company that ended my dry-spell of job hunting and brought me out from Los Angeles to Boston, where the opportunity is!
Tomorrow is my day off, when I get to wait for the cable company to hook us up with internet, phone and, oh yeah, cable teevee. It’ll be weird to not go into Brontes. I’ll definitely be keeping in touch with the folks over there.
Mood: Happy but melancholy.
I did notice that I put in a good bit of effort into gentoo this evening. I hope to stabilise gnucash-2 soon, amongst other things.
Monday, my new job starts. New role, new dress, new attitude, new place, new people. Excitement, butterflies, sleeplessness. I can’t wait!
