Pointer update

drwexI've been meaning to post this all week but Things Keep Happening and my emotional spoons are near zero. There's a lot to say here and I think I'll divide it into three bits. First the facts, then the story, then the backstory. That way at least some of it will get written. So...
Monday, about an hour before my dad called to tell me my aunt had died, I handed in my resignation at work. My last day at Aspen will be April 1, ironically my exact sixth anniversary. It's a little odd to leave on a Monday but that's Sprint End for a couple of my major projects and makes it easier to put a neat bow on a couple things. Mostly I'm in back-to-back meetings trying to hand over as much of my work as I feasibly can.
I'll be going to work for PTC down in Boston's Seaport district. If you work downtown and want to do lunch or something let me know. The commute is going to suck rocks but there's WFH options and a transport reimbursement policy to ease the pain. There are some other nice perks; we'll see what the actual working conditions are like once I'm settled in there. I promise to update.
I will be a Design Director for them, which is a definite step up the ladder for me and one of my motivations for going. The core truth is that I'm sad to leave Aspen and the friends I've made here, but it was (past) time and I'm looking forward to new challenges.
Ping me if you want contact info once I get it, or if you want to socialize.

W00t! I'm sorry the commute will not be great, but hoping the shiny will be as shiny as you hope. Proud and happy for you and still big love for aunties gone.

I get down that way now & again - Sam is working down there now. And Marnie too. Let's see if spring is the time we can actually see each other.
