Today Jim started a new job! He has worked for Intel for the past 5 years and loved it (and would work there again) but it was time for a change. There were many factors involved but to name two (1) Jim’s trip to Intel was 42 miles ONE way. His trip to his new employer (Cox Communications) is only 5 miles!!!! Getting 2 hours of your day back is a BIG deal. (2) Jim was ready to move into a full time programmer position. At Intel, he was doing a lot of programming but also a lot of “fixing” and support. Now he will be a “design architect” which means he will be building and designing intranet sites for Cox. <\/p>\n
He just had training today but he thinks he is going to like it. We have other friends that work for Cox so that should be fun. In fact, three of the people that now work for Cox used to work with me at Bank One. Jim will now be interacting with my “old crowd” LOL. Maybe that means I can have some reunion lunches? Hee hee! <\/p>\n
One cool thing about working for Cox is that you get ALL the cable stations free, HDTV, free high speed cable, and discounted phone service too. We are going to purchase a DVR as well since we are saving so much elsewhere. I have lots of shows I want to download this season:). Alias, House, Invasion, Threshold, and my new FAVORITE – LOST. I lOVE that show. Jim and I bought Season 1 and just finished it. Tom and Kristi are borrowing it next but if anyone else wants to be in line to borrow the season, let me know:). P.S. I also have all 3 seasons of Roswell, 1 season of 24 and 2 seasons of Alias, and the first and only season of Earth 2. <\/p>\n
Jim wants to go watch a movie now so I gotta go:) More on the boys later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
