I have a job again
I didn't get a chance to note it yesterday, but I have a job again. I'm working at Georgia Tech for their central IT group. Yesterday was the first day I'd been to work in 158 days, so the change was very welcome.
One of the differences about working for a university is evident today: I came to eat lunch at the student center, and while looking around for a place to sit, I noticed iMacs sitting around the edge of the room. iMacs, running OSX, just sitting here for people to use them. So that's where I'm blogging from right now.
Right now I have a temp position with Tech, but there's a pretty good chance I'll be brought on full-time in the next month or so. Right now we're in a "try-before-you-buy" mode.
They're setting up an old PII laptop for me. Tech has 802.11 at various places around campus, so I should be able to enjoy blogging outside (or home on the couch) again.
