They want me to become completely Citrix Certified and Vmware Certified. It looks like all the hard work has finally paid off. I start June 20th. Leaving Arizona on June 14th.

    Congratz. It would take a lot for me to want to move back to NJ, but it sounds like you got exactly what you wanted.

    Awesome, good job! I recently did a similar relocation. I moved from Texas to NY (right on the NJ border). I was happy to escape the heat but a month after being here, it seems to be just as hot as Texas, lol.

    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    NJ is bad but listen I been to many other states. There is alot in the state to offer. You have the beach, mountains up north, country, and NYC all within an hour to three hour drive. I really do not think that is all that bad. You also get exposed to alot of different culture.

    Amen to that! I have a hard time finding jobs/internships in upstate New York, then when I applied for jobs in Jersey, it was less frustrating, and I finally got an internship here. Definitely looking forward to move out of this city I live in now. Not gonna be until another 2-3 years later.

    Where are you living now? When I get back we should meet up. Do you have alot of expierence with Citrix, Vmware, and Microsoft? Reason I ask is I know the company I am going to work for is looking for another person.

    Awesome. Unfortunately, I'm a supernoob with System Administration stuff, but we can definitely meet someday. I will PM you.
