It's quitting time. Time to move on to bigger and better things!

I turned my resignation letter in to my current employer this morning. I think they were a little shocked, and I haven't quite seen how my big boss is going to react yet as he is somewhere up near Redmond this week. I haven't been happy here lately, and they know this, but they also thought things were improving. I had to play along for the past few weeks, the last thing I wanted was to end up unemployed. So I made things better, I didn't put up a fight with the usual insane things, I just played the game.

Last Thursday I got an email from the President of a small software development company here in town. He found my name on forums.asp.net and saw that I was from St. Louis. I guess after looking around at a few of my sites and probably here on my blog :) he shot me an email about a C# position they were looking to fill.

I interviewed there on Monday, and worked out the final offer on Thursday. I'm excited, this new opportunity should be great, and they've even mentioned time to allow me to continue working on open source projects, so hopefully I'll be able to get back in on the ASP.NET Forums 2.0 conversion for DNN!!

I'm sure I'll have more to blog about this soon!

Good luck, Chris. Glad you escaped the BS. This Coding Life is a good one as long as you can avoid the BS.

Thanks for all the support guys! I'm not heading into consulting, but I've accepted that if it comes down to it I could do consulting if I needed to. For now though I'm happy to be working for a company that has a set focus and drive behind that focus.
