The ball is rolling.

Well, the ball has begun to roll. I got the offer in the mail yesterday and called and accepted it this morning. I have to fill out a few forms and to the customary drug test, but after that its just a matter of waiting for verifications and paperwork to be completed. A few weeks they said. Which is totally fine by me because we have a code release deadline on the 21st of April. I want to stay here at the wireless contract job until that is done, so I am not leaving them in the middle of it. I don't think we will make the 21st personally, but we'll see....and if we don't, we'll have it done soon after.
The job market in Seattle, WA seems to have really picked up. When the job I am currently in came up, I had had 5 interviews and 4 offers in a 2 month period. Since I started the contract job, I have gotten probably 8 calls from ColdFusion developer positions and just as many emails. I am surprised that there is such a strong demand for ColdFusion developers up here in the heart of Microsoft. Interesting, but cool none the less. Anyway, must code.....

Yea, yea....its been a while

So a fair amount has happened in the last few weeks. I just need to remember to update my blog when stuff happens....:) So I took the wireless contract job up here in Bothell, WA. It was difficult at first to leave home and work at a different location. The job has gotten better then it seemed the first few days which is good. It has been interesting and challenging, which I have been longing for. The beagles haven't been too excited about being left at home all day, but they are doing well. We put in a dog door in our laundry room wall so they are now able to go in and out all day long. We still have some work to do in the yard to confine them to a smaller area so the risk of them escaping will be a lot lower.
Good news though. I just received a call from the aerospace staffing and there is an offer in the mail for the second really cool aerospace job that I interviewed for. It will be working with networks and hardware and software systems, which I have been wanting to get back into. I am really looking forward to it. We have a code release here in the next few weeks so I am going to stay here at wireless until that is done and then switch to the aerospace job. It should be fun. The only downside is the distance, the new job is in Kent, WA. Rissa and I will commute together, so that will be nicer, but we will see how it goes being that far away from work. We may look into moving further south...I duno...We'll see.

On another note, the weather up here in Seattle, WA has been changing quite a bit. Mt Baker got over 100 in of snow in 10 days. Therefore, Riss and I played hooky this last Monday and went up to Baker to Ski. We had a good time and the snow was great. We had not made our way up to Baker yet, so it was a fun to check out a new mountain. I took some pics and again I need to post them...soon hopefully. Anyway...I had better get back to work, or at least grab some food.
