The New Digs
Beginning September 17, 2007 I will be an official employee of Cisco, working for IronPort as a Software Engineer. This will close my 6 years as an employee of That Company and begin my life as a person who can say they live in the Bay Area.
And so begins the frantic search for an apartment, the quashing of the waves and waves of panic as Shannon and I begin to decide just how much of accumulated stuff we must abandon in order to fit comfortably into a 900 sq. ft. apartment that costs around $2,000.
But, I'm very excited. My last day at That Company is August 17. I believe that Sandoval will be planning some kind of shindig to send me off, and I expect that it will occur close to the end of the month.
It's been a wild, crazy, stressful, frustrating and rewarding ride so far, and I'm sure it's only going to get better.

Yes we are very happy. Think about it as your very own 900 sq. feet in the midst of everything good.
