'Lo all.

Tee-hee!

I'm glad to have been posting a succession of good things of late and this would seem to be the big one. I just faxed my signed offer letter to Red Hat, so as of 6/30/03 I am officially an oficial employee of Red Hat, Inc in some very official way I'm sure. After 8 months of sporadic (at best) employment, I have a job. What fun!

This job is going to be a very interesting period of my life. My dad, Mr Businessman, calls it my first "real job" because, besides paying well, it's going to be INSANE. To illustrate, here is a sample of my next three weeks:

Sunday, 6/29: Fly to Raleigh for annual instructor summit at RedHat HQ.
6/30-7/2: Attend said summit.
Wednesday, 7/2: Fly back to Tampa
Monday, 7/7: Fly back to Raleigh
7/8-7/7: Attend new-hire orientation
7/9-7/10: Supplimentary training with instruction manager
Friday, 7/10: Fly back to Tampa
Sunday, 7/12: Fly to wherever I end up being scheduled for my first class
7/13-7/17: Teach first class (with any luck I'll get the materials for what I'm teaching from next week)
Friday 7/17: Fly back to Tampa

...and that (at least the 7/12-7/17 period) is pretty much going to be the template for the forseeable future. Well, actually, it's not quite that insane. Basically you either travel 3 weeks in a row and then spend a week working remotely on developing training materials and whatnot or you travel 4 weeks in a row and then spend two weeks working remotely. Either way, it's going to be craaaay-zee. But I think it will also be a lot of fun.

Here's hoping!
Got my RHCE results back. =:)

Wow. Apparently 'three business days' was an overestimate. In fact, they were in my emailbox while I was at the airport waiting for my plane home.

Grand total scores -
Troubleshooting: 100%
Install/Config: 100%
Mult. Choice: 94% (drat, 4 questions from perfection!)
Overall Avg: 98%

Tee-hee. =:) The results were followed by an email from my (still marginally unofficial) boss-to-be saying, and I quote: "very impressive, sir".

Excuse me while I go celebrate. =:) ..and please excuse me further as I'm going to be horribly full of myself for the next few days.
