Working my last day at my current job...headed off to Ireland in the morning to start my new job as a Sr Sys Admin. It's a bit scary but even more exciting.

The last day at a job is such a weird feeling...I'm going to miss all my colleagues, I've never been good at goodbyes.

    Good Luck with your new job.

    Might be a stupid question but are you moving to Ireland as in country or moving to a different city somewhere in the states?

    Sounds like an enjoyable time. Orientation and vacation, at the same time.

    Wow! That is a big move up. Topped off with a visit to Ireland on the company's dime (working vacation of course)
    Have fun over there and congrats. Are you still going to be in DC for the new job?
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.

    I'll be in Maryland not too far up the road for this job, which works out since my g/f has a house in Columbia...will make things easier on us.


    Thanks for all the congrats guys, I'm pretty excited...hopefully things will go well!

    So now that you've become a senior sysadmin, I notice your username has changed. Not a huge change, still recognizable... but what happens when you enter management? We might not know who you are anymore, ya know? :p

    Congratulations and enjoy Ireland.
    The beginning of knowledge is understanding how little you actually know.

    Working for a global company is nice. My company is based in France, and we have multiple locations all around the world.icon_thumright.gif

    Traveling occasionally is part of the job.

    Ádh mór ort, a chara!

    Where in Ireland? I really want to take a long trip to Connacht, near Galway. I studied the Irish dialect of Cois Fharraige for a number of years. Would love to rstart my studies and actually be able to get some use from it.
