As some of you already know, I've been offered a Quality Assurance job in Alexandria, VA. I start on February 18.

It pays better than I've made in awhile, and they're giving me money for moving expenses. It has good benefits, and there's a slim chance that I could be sent to India for a month or so to train people. (It would be beyond wonderful for it to happen. I've never been to India.)

I'll miss Boston, but, frankly, three bouts of whiplash in five months tells me something wants me gone from here. *G*

I gave my notice to my current employers yesterday.

D.C. beckons. I haven't lived there in over 25 years. It will be interesting.

Good luck! Sorry I didn't get around to hanging out with you more while you were here this go-round.

Me too. I'll be back for visits. One's already scheduled for May.

It's sounding pretty good to me, too.

Does this increase the odds I can talk you into visiting me? :)

Absolutely! Give me a month or two to figure out what I'm doing, and I'll be down to see you.

Wow, wonderful! Do you think you will actually live in Alexandria? It's so pretty! Congratulations on the new job.

I hope to get an apartment in DC, mostly because the company will be moving offices (while remaining in the DC area) soon and no one knows quite where we'll end up. I figure it's better to be in the middle of the Metro system and flexible.

*G*

Dude, I missed it that you'd moved back to Boston. I thought you were still in LA with the folks. This is great!! I'm pleased for you!!!

I didn't really publicize the move to Boston for various reasons. It's been wonderful to be here with friends, but the work wasn't what I expected.

This sounds awesome. Is it a type of job that you'll like? I hope you get the chance for travel, since you like that. :-)

It's the type of job I'm good at. And I think it will give me enough money to have a life outside the job that I'll enjoy.

Plus, distant maybe, India. *G*
