Well, wouldn't you know it, just as I got started writing a blog, I shift job roles! On New Year's Eve, I got an unexpected job offer from an HR person. Just like that. Not even an interview; just an offer. As it turned out, I had previously managed a NetWare network (I miss NetWare, by the way) as one part of my job. The primary users of that network have some somewhat unique requirements, and I helped them with those until I left that job. Eventually, they created a new position to address those needs, and it happened to match well with what I did for them before. Once they had the position approved and on the street, they asked their recruiter to go find me. And yes, it is nice to be wanted, thanks for asking. I considered the offer very carefully, because I was quite happy as a SysAdmin, and it represented a shift away from the core of what I'd always done. Ultimately, though, I took the job because my skill set matched so well with what they needed. So that's my excuse for not updating this blog.
And so, following my previous post about my realization that I should write about problem solving, and the fact that I've shifted away from a troubleshooting-focused job to one that encompases solving both technical and non-technical problems, I believe that I'm going to change the name of this blog to something more appropriate. Now, I only have to come up with a name. Any suggestions?
