Moving boxes?

By kate on February 10th, 2005

Does anyone need moving boxes? My company just ordered a ton of new computer equipment, which came in various sizes of sturdy cardboard boxes. They’re all going to be recycled soon (probably tonight), so let me know if you want any.

Busy

By kate on January 28th, 2005

If you haven’t heard from me recently, it’s because my new job is keeping me super busy. It’s a really great job and I like it, so no worries. I apologize if you’ve been waiting for me to get back to you about something. Feel free to ping me again (I won’t take offense).

Also, just in case… Steve needs to borrow an accordion!

New Job!

By kate on January 10th, 2005

I have accepted a position at a year-old startup company as IT Lead, which is not only a positive career move, but also entails a nice raise. 🙂

I gave my two weeks’ notice today, and will start the new job on Wed, January 26th. My new boss is an old colleague of mine who left earlier in the year.

For a while now, it has felt to me like my current company is on a downward slide. Many good people have already left, and I feel like the product quality is slipping (because we don’t have enough people to do the work).

I’m excited to be joining a company that is well funded and growing. I’ll be employee #26, and they plan to have more than 40 employees in the next 3-4 months. It seems like a dynamic, smart group of people, and a great opportunity for me to learn a lot. I’m getting hired based on what I WILL learn (and how fast I can learn), rather than what I already know.

One day I’d like to write more about how amazing it was to perform in our aerial shows last month… but in the meantime, check out our fledgling website (click on the pictures link at the bottom).
