Lance’s Ramblings

Well, its official. I just accepted an offer from K-State for the UNIX admin position. I’m so excited/scared/nervous/pumped I don’t know what to think. I sincerely hope that I’m making the right decision by moving away and pursing this. I’m 98% sure that this is the right decision. The good thing is that I won’t be very far from home so the move will be not so bad. I’m guessing I’ll be moving down there by the first part of June and starting a few weeks after that.

Thanks for all the support from my friends on this! This is certainly an exciting time for me!

Well, this has certainly been an exciting week for me in the job hunt adventure. It started out with an email from Kansas State University on monday saying that the search committee had looked at my resume and was wondering if I was still interested in the UNIX System Administrator position. So of course I replied that night..

Then yesterday I got another email asking to setup an interview next week. WOOHOO! I decided to have it on Monday since I was planning on a trip there anyways this weekend… so we’ll see how it goes. I’m really nervous about the whole thing since I feel like they may ask questions where I may not know how to answer, or will answer in the wrong way.

Wish me luck!

Man, this week has certainly been interesting. Started off Sunday night telling Scott (my boss) about my future plans. The next day he had a talk with some of the upper management so they knew my position was going to be empty in the future sometime. Just amazing how much things seem to be getting put into place for me. I was glad to hear that they will fill my position once I leave and they might even get a person to deal with the manuals and such. Its just now finally sinking in that this life changing idea will actually happen. Before it was just talk and waiting, now its more like ‘woa, this is actually going to happen’.

I also got a chance to email Scott Kveton about possibly meeting with some of the other IT groups on campus while I’m visiting OSU in a few weeks. I’m pumped about that! If anything, it’ll be nice to meet some other groups and get my name out. I’m really looking forward to possibly moving up there and get out of Kansas. I could use a change of scenery
