After many months of being dicked around by my company and dickteased with other solicitiations of visions of San Diego, I have finally reached a watershed moment. As many of you know, I've sort of disappeared of the face of the planet being that I have been on the fence with my future. So...
I will be accepting a management position with a current competitor in San Diego, starting 2/19. Gone will be the days of me living out of suitcases and off of people's couches / extra bedrooms (been this way since 8/1). I leave behind good friends, an environment I've known almost all my life, great work environment with lots of upward mobility, and a new project that I just started to manage for greener pastures. Sometimes the need for a fresh environment with a little risk (and perfect weather) outweighs the comforts of the status quo.
Enter my new opportunity with lots of unknowns (but not without an oceanview office on Coronado) - yet challenges that I yearn for. I acknowledge that my departure will sour some of my current professional relationships, but I know that if worse comes to worse, I can always come back.
My last event will likely be the TZC weekend at VIR 2/10-2/11 - unfortunatley, I do not think I will be able to make the NASA event the following weekend (but who knows). For those of you that I know - I'd like to catch you all before I leave for the left coast...
