...that I've been unemployed since July 11, when I left my last employer. (Why? Because although they interviewed me as -- and led me to believe I was being hired as -- a .NET developer, my manager decided without consulting me that I was going to become their backup "subject matter expert" in PowerBuilder and a 20-year-old legacy app written in it. I spent 14 months trying to do this while also trying to get reassigned to something that would actually advance my career, to no avail.)
Anyway, the reason I'm mentioning this now is that I just got back from dropping off the paperwork that will make me once again an employee of FastTrackRTW in Bedminster. I'll admit that it's a bit of a step backward in salary and title, but it gets me back to the place where I was happiest in the last ten years, working with people I already know and who want me back. You should have seen the welcome I got when I went in on Friday for an "interview" that was really three friends shooting the breeze for half an hour before getting shown around the new office like it was my first day already.
My "first day" will be October 24. I can't wait.

...and my shoes began to squeak.
