I've been lurking for a little while. Telling jldunston what I see. I've been working my tushie off, so I haven't been able to properly craft messages worthy of you fine people. (You know messages with words like tushie.) Congrats to everyone on the healthy living train. I'm currently off said train, but I'm hoping to hop back on mege-hobo-stylzz in the near future.
But I have news! A friend of mine at SAS Institute told me of a job opening to which I applied, interviewed, and was made an offer. This is great news. This is the young father transitioning from a job (at a small company) to a career (at a company large enough to own its own bureucracy). So we're pretty excited about it here at Palace Picasso. I've enjoyed building web applications at Cicada, but they can't really offer me and the family what SAS can. So that's news item 1. I got a new job. News item 2 is that my current job needs to be filled. I don't know if anybody here is interested in building web applications in Raleigh, NC, but if you are Cicada Consulting Group is a great little company that has slowly been building its success for 11 years. They're a great group of people, and they have an interesting and eclectic group of customers. So in case you're interested the posting is here
here. If you do apply for the job by clicking the link at the bottom of the page, you'll be using the applicant tracking system I wrote while I was here. That's kind of weird. The prize for applying through our system is getting to fix its bugs in the future.
