Zoomba - Coming Soon to a Stardock Near YOU!

Sunny, tropical Michigan, here I come :D

Yes, that's right, I managed to bribe, borrow and steal my way into employment with Stardock! Several months back I started chatting up a few people about potential openings when I realized it was time to move on from my current employer. Recently, they started to open up hiring (https://www.stardock.com/jobs.asp) and I tossed my resume and cover letter into the hat (Cordelia helped a LOT with the cover letter!) And just recently went out for an interview and subsequently was offered a job, which I gladly took!

The role I've been brought in for is a mixture of software QA to help do more internal testing on products before they go out to the public test group, and a more nebulous role called "software evangelist" which is something that's still being described to me via email. But I do know that it means going forward, you're probably going to see my name a lot more within the Stardock community of sites, as well as on sites connected in some way to our products (i.e. Neowin, DeviantArt, any site that covers skinning and UI enhancements, games etc).

More than that, I'm not sure on. My last day at my current job is June 30th, and my start date with Stardock is July 12th. Sometime between now and then I'll be finding a place to live and then packing up all my crap and hauling it from Connecticut to Michigan.

But I'm sure my first duty will to be to get my new manager (Cordelia) a cup of coffee and a newspaper ;)

I know there was a gas station that had Krispy Kreme donuts in Michigan. It was on the corner of 6 mile and Haggerty, just down the road from where the old Stardock building was.

Congrats on the job Zoomba.

I can't believe you are leaving our place of employment to work somewhere SO COOL!

Man o man am I jealous. How did apartment shopping go this weekend. You missed a fun game of poker

I wish you the best Mike, it really was an awesome two years knowing you.

Climb that corporate ladder and hook a brother up! lol

Be warned though, I will NEVER get you a coffee unless it is my choice

Yes... someday you can be MY minion! MUHAHAHAHAHA *hack**cough**wheeze*

Apartment hunting went well. It was a pretty packed weekend with flying, getting the apartment, then touring the Canton/Plymouth/Northville/Novi area with Cordelia and Mormegil. Capped off with a nice dinner at P.F Cheng's with those two and WishX.

Just as well that I missed poker though... I don't know how to play

I'll hit you up on Sametime later this week about grabbing a drink or two soon.
