Finally, after 3 months or so of job hunting, I got 2 job offers, and while I choose the first rather impulsively, I went with the second. The company is MEDecsion down in Wayne, PA and I'll be working as an ASP Application Admin. Basically I'll be doing a very similar role to what I was doing at Sungard, but for a company that seems much more organized. Their environment is mostly a Linux (AIX and websphere) so I'm really looking forward to expanding my tech knowledge into those areas. The manager is great, the team is awesome, and I'm just looking forward to getting back to work. I miss working. I know it sounds silly, but 3 months of sitting around, hoping and waiting, really sucks. I believe I start Aug 9th so now I have to spend the rest of my free time brushing up on Websphere knowledge and getting my stuff together. I'm happy and excited again and definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next. Now I just have to figure out how to pull down the resumes I've been posting so I can stop getting the phone calls from recruiters... ran up my cell phone bill! hahaha

With all the job searching and interviews that I've been doing lately, I've updated my resume finally online so it'll match the Word version when I send that around. I did not post my references, but if you give me a call or email, I can send you the full version. Big thank you's go to the recruiters and companies who have shown interest in me while I'm trying to find my next position. I am definitely still open and available so please let me know if I'd be a good fit for your company!

I'm going to use this site to share my more techy information and posts. I have a brief list of projects that I've worked on recently on the projects page, but there's a lot of domains, sites, and scripts I have over the years that I just need to go through. I'm currently looking for work so if you know of anyone that needs an uber amazing server admin/generalist, please send them my resume or have them get in touch with me. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to share a lot of the useful stuff I've done over the years.
