Some Good News
Posted by SpikeApr 23
You may or may not have noticed but as of today, something is missing from the blog. There is now no need to display my resume any more and that page has been deleted.
I’ll be starting a new job on May 3rd – which is my birthday and this is about as nice a birthday present as one could get. I’m not going to be specific but I’ll say it represents a slight career change for me – it’s the kind of position I was hoping to get in the kind of company I was hoping to work for. (Some of you may be curious – yes, they do know about the blog and so I won’t be writing about anything work-related here.)

A six-month sabbatical followed by the job of your dreams. What more can a man ask for?!
Comment by Spike on April 23, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Sure, they’re on me …. I’ll be in Manila next week, see you there?
Comment by Spike on April 23, 2010 at 6:07 pm
This Friday night, meaning tonight?
Comment by Spike on April 23, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Oh, it’s not quite the job of my dreams. That would be doing the body painting for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Comment by Fernando on April 23, 2010 at 6:24 pm
So, it’s body painting for some other magazine?
Whatever, good news and congratulations!

That’s great news for you. Enjoy your last week of being lazy.
Comment by Dimple on April 23, 2010 at 7:01 pm
This is great news….
Comment by MrMr on April 23, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Good to hear. You must be relieved. As for the sabbatical, would have been so much nicer if you new you had the new job when you left the last. Onwards and upwards I say.
