The Vacation Is Over.
It's been a fun run of things, but I guess it's time to throw the panniers back on the bike and start riding to work again.
I start at 8:30 AM tomorrow, which means I'm sleeping in. On top of average system administrator duties, I'll be spearheading the PCI compliance effort for a small company that's pretty close to home. They've been around in one form or another (under various company names) for quite a while. In fact, the guy who we got our cat Dora from used to work for them, ages ago. I may or may not be joined by another friend of mine who got a job offer from them this week as well.
The company already knows from my interview that I bike it year round. I'll show up on my trusty Twelve tomorrow and see what they make of it.
3 weeks of downtime has given me a chance to recharge and re-build my passion for security, technology, and tinkering. It's also a pretty short vacation for this economy. I have a few friends who are six months down.
It's also worth noting that the hammer dropped pretty hard at my old gig, with an estimated 7% layoff over the course of this week. Hopefully, that's the last hurrah after quietly booting employees one-by-one over the last few months.
