It's official, I am moving to Boston! I started applying to jobs in December, since things are going well with R. After a phone interview, I managed to time the in-person interview to overlap with being up in Boston for Hunt. Since then there's been a variety of back and forth things, but it's all official and I just put in my notice. I start at the beginning of March. The job involves working on some really cool cutting edge technology, and it comes with a very big raise. I'm excited for all of it. Now I just need to find a place to live in three weeks... But I think I'm close on that.

I've been at my current workplace since I graduated in 2007, so finding a new job is a big deal. I'm going to miss my current workplace, and I'll miss friends and family in Jersey, but it's almost certainly time to move on and there are definitely things I won't miss about my current job. And I'm looking forward to spending more time with R, and also to seeing my Bostonland friends more often. Maybe I'll be able to do a BAPHL! Get a subscription to the BSO? Make up an acronym like BLJW? I'm just generally excited about taking this opportunity. And a lot stressed about all the logistics.

Oh man congratulations! I missed the R news but yay for that as well \o/ I will miss having the chance to meet up in NY every few years but another reason to visit Boston, I guess :) I really love that city and the people in it... I'm sure this will be an exciting new chapter <3

Fantastic news! Hope the move goes well. (And let me hopefully be the first one to meme remind you that you cannot drive a moving truck on Storrow Drive)

Congrats on the new job and the change!

Honestly, given my current travel frequencies and logistical situations, I'll probably find it easier to see you more often after you move even though you'll be a greater distance from me!

And biking in Somerville is a DELIGHT compared to practically anywhere in NYC so I hope you get to experience that a lot.

Re: Congrats!

[seekingferret]

Yeah, I went biking in Somerville last summer with a friend and it was fun. I'm looking forward to biking in Boston in general. Hope I do run into you if you're up here!

Belated congratulations! I hope everything is going well so far!
