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!
