Total Incredible Kick Ass Awesomeness
« on: October 10, 2007, 12:29:36 AM »
After 20+ years I am finally free of the food service industry.  You've all heard me bitch about my current job of the past eight years.  Well it finally happened.  I've landed a position with a leading high tech company (in the EDA industry).  Big bump in salary, opportunity for advancement, great corporate culture, bonus, stock, great benefits.  Plus it's closer to home!

I gave notice today and start on the 26th.  :happydance: :nanaparty: :detta:

Wonderful news my friend.

Does this mean you won't be surfing the internets while at work?

Yep, I'll probably be much more scarce.  Plus going to the high tech sector, I may not even be able to surf at all at work because they'll have monitoring/blocking.  But I'll still drop by every once in a while at odd hours from home.

Congrats, but please inform me further on what constitutes a "great corporate culture." Does this mean you are eating yogurt in a business suit? Oh ho, I am been saving jokes!
