About 5 months ago, J received a telephone call out of the blue from a former co-worker. They worked together back in J's college intern days - 11 years ago...geez we are getting old! :) Anyhow, he wanted to speak with J about a job opportunity assisting in the start-up of a local branch office for a Systems Integrator based in Atlanta. J agreed to meet with him just before Thanksgiving to learn a bit more...J was pretty happy with his current job, but figured it couldn't hurt to check this opportunity out. Looooong story short, J was intrigued with what this company is doing and began the process investigating, interviewing, and eventually (after much prayer and discussion) accepting a job....starting TOMORROW!
It is a little bit bitter-sweet...excited and thankful to the Lord for this opportunity but a little sad because J worked with some really great folks at his former job. So, starting tomorrow, our life will look a little different, J will be the "New Guy" - a big change from his former "Wise Old Guy" status, he'll be doing some local travel, and he's finally got a valid reason for getting an iPhone :)
Looking forward to starting this new chapter!
Excited with you for this new chapter ... all the best for "J"---great pic too!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to J and all of you! Chad had heard he was leaving, but had been unable to determine where he was going. =)
