EMPLOYED!

big news - I got a job offer, and accepted!

I'm going to be a Manager in the New Business group at BuyerZone, doing product management for their local search (which isnt exactly a real product right now... but it sure will be when I'm done with it!)

This was exactly the kind of role I was looking for, and I think it is going to be a really really great fit for me. They called me up with the offer Monday around lunch time (and I accepted, after the necessary negotiations of course) and then a few hours later called again saying there was a company event that evening to go see the Sox, and they had an extra ticket - so I met up with my future coworkers for beer and baseball. It was fantastic, everyone was so friendly and fun. I have a really good feeling about this! Plus my buddy Leif (of Digitas Intern fame) works there, so I already have a friend!

thank you to everyone who has been so helpful and supportive over the last 6 months, you have helped me get through this, technically and mentally, in a way that I would not have been able to on my own

yay for being productive again! I start on July 28, so if anyone wants to do crazy stuff during the day (lunch, trips to the mountains, etc) before then, let me know
