From the Central Coast

This side trip is turning out well!  Drive into the central coast with a beautifully presented marine layer.  First day of digging deep into the inner workings of a small IT company with secret weapons!  Ah yes, all the indications of finally being involved in something successful.  Open minded people, ready to help build a road map to a future for the company, check!  Smart people wanting to engage in building the company together, check!  I truly don't know how to act, other than stick my head down, put my thinking cap on and enjoy the fruits of employment with the new team...

The Roller Coaster

Ok, update time.  So, what exactly is it like to be unemployed?  Hardly know!  What an interesting ride this one has been.  Got the call and the nice speech as mentioned earlier.  Decided, you know what we just have to trust God and enjoy the ride.  What were the choices?  Freak out, run around with our hair on fire, make each other miserable or what?  Decided to just trust and enjoy...

During the winter of 2007, I helped an old friend do some things with his fledgling company to get it kind of going.  Fast forward to last Saturday, in response to my LinkedIn "What are you working on now" fill in the blank of ...is looking for a job, I get a call from this old friend who is babbling about the stars aligning and opportunity.  Additionally, he and his partner have just launched the secret weapon that is going to make this thing go.  They want me to join and develop the roadmap for where they need to take the company and then keep everyone between the ditches.  

Oh man, I was just getting used to goofing off......, no problem though, I could get used to working with people who feel more like your close cousins rather than co-workers.  People with a passion for what they are doing, people really good at the parts they do...........Side Trip In Life, here I come!  Check back here as I share this side trip...
