I have not updated this blog in forever. In fact, I must be the worst blogger in the world. I don't think anyone reads this..even strangers. So if someone does, give me a shout. Ok, here is a six month update since march of 05....
I got laid off in march and got a new job within 2 weeks. In fact, I interviewed for the IT training mgr position at builders first source and got it before I got screwed. Hyphen solutions was a horrible company. Some of the people were ok, but management was a bunch of lying arrogant pricks. They were a start up and have sooooo many problems that any who bought them would be an idiot. Lousy business model that has not gotten off the grond after 5 years. Olympus is losing so much money that I give them til 2007 tops.
Anyway, I am now the IT training manager at BUILDERS FIRSTSOURCE. We have over 6000 employees and recently went public. So far I like it, but the travel can wear me out a little. I hope that I can go far in this company since there seems to be a lot of room for growth and I really like the management.
We moved into our new home in july. It is a three story townhouse in Addison circle. Addison was recently voted as on of the top 5 sexiest suburbs for whatever that is worth!
This weekend I am flying back to Dallas and going to the lakehouse with Greg. We desperately need some rest.
The worst part about the move has been selling the old place. While I do have an offer that will close hopefully, I wish I had gotten more. The lesson I learned? It is all about location and do not buy near crappy older apartments.
Over and out
