a change of pace

/EXISTENCE
Typically when someone mentions a "change of pace" they're usually referring to slowing down, stopping to enjoy nature, and even finding a bit of serenity amid the normal noise. On the contrary for me, I am happy to announce that I've accepted a job offer at eStream in Southern California. I'll be starting in June. So over the next month I will be busy trying to concentrate on work, sorting through my stuff to sell and donate various items, packing the rest, and finding the money to move myself and stuff.

So why do you care? Well, mostly because I won't be writing about SharePoint for much longer in the current context. My new job will be providing support. So after I finish my "codeless" series, I won't have much to say about SharePoint any more. This is a wonderful thing in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, SharePoint is a very versatile system. It's also quite quirky and must be managed carefully. And constantly. I think Wictor Wilén put it best: "It is always fun to get back on site after a couple of days off work. SharePoint 2010 is like an annoying little critter, if you're not there to cuddle with it it will do the most strange things."

The next note of business is that my posting schedule will be changing over the next month as well. Instead of posting every other Monday, I'm going to look into posting on Sundays. I haven't decided how frequently yet but I should have a better idea of that once I'm functioning again after moving to California.

Until next time:
Work smart. Play hard. Sleep well.
