This ends a 2 month, 2 day unemployment streak that I was on, the longest I’ve been out of a job since 9th grade! I do feel blessed, there are some others I know in the same situation that have not been able to locate a new permanent position.

I’m really excited about this opportunity for my career! I have to believe that some high power had a hand in forcing me out the door from my previous position, because I’d still be there otherwise. This job has better pay, more interesting work, and with a better company (of course the last two are my opinion, any former co-workers of mine).

Overall, I think this is a good thing for the RevenueDirect product and its customers, it can finally get the attention it requires to be truly successful.

As far as my employment, I will still be employed with Dotster. I will be put on and given ownership of other projects, and I truly feel as though now I can be free to pursue some things that will allow me to mature more as a Software Engineer. It has been an amazing learning experience, and I’m ready to move on.

I’ve driven my car everyday so far, although that might soon change. I filled my gas tank today for the first time in 3 weeks, in contrast to once every week at the job before, or 2-3 times a week at the job before that. Gas is teh suck.

I start on Monday. I updated my About page accordingly.

I really like the people and the environment.

Today I accepted a position at Dotster Inc as a Software Engineer. They are located 1.9 miles from my house, the perfect distance for biking or walking. I’m amazed to be living so close to where I will work, it is definitely not what I planned or expected, but I’m pleasantly surprised.

I’m going on a 2 week cruise, then I have my final 2 weeks at GiftTree. My last day at GiftTree is May 18th, and I start at Dotster May 21st.

Exciting times!

They are only 4.1 miles away from my house! Talk about luck…

Where I currently work is 6.9 miles away from where I live. If I were to go on commute time alone, it would be hard to beat Dotster :) .

Edit, I had their location wrong, their correct location is actually only 1.9 miles from my house.

Apparently I qualify to be a Government Scale 7

A bachelor’s degree and superior academic achievement. Superior academic is (1). Class Standing (2). Grade-point average (G.P.A) 3.0 or higher (3).Membership in a national scholastic honor society.

Not that I’m currently looking for a job, but it’s good information to have.

I’ll be doing PHP and Oracle development on Linux and OSX servers from an OSX workstation.

It looks to be a good fit for me. The technologies which I do not know are ones which I’ve wanted to learn for some time; namely Oracle and Mac OSX. The best part about the job is the proximity: it took 7 minutes to get to work, 15 minutes to get from work. This is a change from 1 hour to get to work, 1 hour 15 minutes to get from work. That’s an extra 53 minutes of sleep I get in the morning :) .
