A Fond Farewell

I got a new job! It's only been a little over a year since I switched employers, but I think this is a good move.

I had to stop by the old office for the last time...

me:	“I'm here to drop off my office keys and cellphone.”
old boss:	“Thanks. We're gonna miss ya.”
me:	“It's been a pleasure. Thanks for the opportunity.”
old boss:	“So they offered you more money?”
me:	“Yeah.”
old boss:	“If you ever change your mind, you're always welcome back.”
me:	“Thanks.”
old boss:	“Like, if they don't keep the promises they made.”
me:	“...ok.”
old boss:	“Or if they can't find enough work for you and you don't make any money and you end up on the bench. That would be really bad. You know what I mean?”
me:	“....uh....yeah....thanks for the offer?”

My new employer is Versatile. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing for them, but I'm excited. Here's how I see it (Surprise Sherry. I made a list):

pros:

• better pay


• closer to home


• relaxed dress code


• more challenging work


• working with SweetTea again


• a more flexible work schedule


• work from home (Sherry, we're gonna need more Bonbons)


• linux on my laptop


• a laptop


• free beverages

cons:

• expensive health insurance


• meeting new people


• working with SweetTea again


• business travel
