Where Have I Been?

I have had a wonderful vacation, and have moved on to a contract at DTAG. Yes, DTAG. For those not consulting in Tulsa, it's Dollar Thrifty Agency Group. (I think.) I swore a few years ago that I'd never work here because I'd heard it was the evil sweatshop with the dastardly mining pit boss et al. But I must say, this is probably one of the coolest places I've ever worked at.

For starters, it's jeans. Shorts. Cool t-shirts. "Active-wear" (what IS active-wear anyway?). I'm also working with people I've known since way back at Sabre, my first programming job, in 1996. Yesterday was my first day and it was like a family reunion, I knew so many people that are working here now. They have an English bulldog called "Vet" that runs around the office. The team is great and I'm working again with John, who I've known for 2.4 million years. :) I'm finally getting to do more work in C#, which I've really been looking forward to doing. I've had to support so many bass-ackwards systems in the past few years that I haven't been able to work a full C# only position in until now.

I have put in notice with Dynamo Hum. I love the band, but I'm moving to Phoenix after this contract, so it's time to start wrapping things up so I can move on. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but thought it'd be best to give them a few months heads up or so to look for a replacement. I definitely have to videotape a gig before I go, I don't see me playing in bands any more. I'm getting so long in the tooth.

HA! :P
