I have been quiet here lately, as well as on the other blogs I write at. Sometimes life hits you in the face, and extra-curricular activities have to take a back seat to what’s going on.

So, what’s going on? Well, for starters, I’m moving to a new job. I’ve taken a job in marketing at a software company that I previously worked for in a technical role. Marketing is the direction I’ve wanted to take my career for some time, and I know my new company’s technology and am excited by the direction they’re going, so this is an incredibly good fit. I’ll be working with some very close friends, which never hurts, but it’s truly invigorating to be excited about both the new role and the software I’ll be working with. Sometimes when an opportunity comes along, you’d be an idiot not to follow the path to see where it takes you. For me, I think this is one of those times.

As if wrapping up an incredibly busy project management role in preparation for the move to the new job isn’t stressful enough, Fran and I are also in the market for a new home. This will be our first purchase, which means a lot of firsts. I’m sure any of you that have gone through buying or selling a home know exactly what I’m talking about.

So, if you see me and I seem a bit stunned, it’s because I’m getting very little sleep, and dealing with more stress than I care to consider. All that being said, I couldn’t be happier with how things are going, and I think it will work out very well once the dust has settled.
