Yes, it is true! I am moving on and away from big blue. It was a tough decision, and even though everyone "says that", it really is true. I have spent 7 years there, and possibly more significantly, my first 7 years out of college. This was my first job right out of school, and I have never known a work environment any different. That being said, I am looking forward to trying something new, different, challenging, and exciting! "They" made it really difficult to leave, but in the end I used my super analytical skills to assess the situation – a "Pros and Cons List". My cons out-weighed my pros, and that was that. I really enjoyed working with the people there and will definitely miss them!
So what am I onto next? Not 100% sure, but a small start-up type environment. There will most definitely be more to come on that front. Hey … maybe my blog *just* got a bit more interesting??
Last day at IBM is next Friday, the 13th. Wow … "Friday the 13th" … hopefully that’s not a bad omen!!! Since my wonderful IT guy was born on Friday the 13th, it can’t be THAT bad!
