Let the Cat Out of the Bag


So, as most folks near and dear to me I know are probably already aware, I've been searchin' for a new job for some time now. Quite some time! Since February, to be precise. My travels to find a job have taken me to SF Bay Area twice, over to Japan (to get away from my current job!), and most recently, New York City. And while most of this has been under wraps of my blog as to keep my current job afloat, the time has come for the big news: this September, I'm starting a new job, working as a web developer for Distance Education Company, who runs the New York Institute of Photography, located in Midtown, Manhattan. I'm outta here.

It's been difficult for me to not share the news here. Holding back, not being able to say what I wanted, seems almost counter-intuitive to a blog. So! Now that that's said, we can all move on.

The job itself sounds pretty sweet. Essentially, I'll be helping grow the various online ascpects of NYIP, as well as their sister college, Sheffield, which specializes in Interior Design, Feng Shui, and Wedding & Event planning. They've done very well for themselves so far, building themselves from intuition. All the folks I met at my recent interview were very talented and very cool. Also totally sweet: lack of corporate environment - goodbye cubicles!

To all my friends and family: thanks for helping me get to where I'm at and I hope you can visit us! We'll still stop through the old digs from time to time to say hello as well!
