Hi Everyone

Its been a while since I added a post to the blog. I have been focusing on the new job and family. Some months are busier then others. The job is going well. I will post more about it later. The team I am working with are a great bunch of people.

I came across a few sites I want to share with you.

  1. http://justin.tv - It is 4 guys who do live video blogging 24 x 7. It reminds me of the Truman show.
  2. 101 shareware and freeware - It is a great list of anything you can think of. Browsers, email and most important security software. Go check it out

Remember to make good decisions!

Back in the Family

It has been a crazy few months to say the least. I was recently asked to come back to the Dow Jones Family. An opening became available for a Technical Support Manager for the Wall Street Journal Online, Barrons, and Market Watch. It is a little different then what I was doing before for Dow Jones/Factiva. I am now apart of the Consumer Media Group of Dow Jones. The good news I was able to keep my date of hire, 401K, and health benefits. Since the move happened before my package ended it is treated as a job transfer from the Enterprise Media Group to the Consumer Media Group. The group handles second level Technical Support calls from Customer Service. It is very similar role to what I did as Director Global Technical Support at Factiva.

Thanks again to everyone for the support during the last few months. Many of you said that these things happen for a reason and the problem will work itself out. As you can see that is what exactly happen. I had the choice of going back to Dow Jones or accepting an offer at a Company in NY for more money. After discussing it with Jennifer I decided the best move would be to come back. After caculating NYC taxes, train fare, and most important time away from the family it just wasn't worth it.

Wish me luck in the new position! It is sure weird to be back in the Princeton Office.
