I have a new job. I have not yet officially accepted and I have not yet told my current employer and I have not yet set a start date, but I have a new job. I am a work zombie at the moment.

Officially, I will be starting as a Staff Electrical Engineer at Burns & McDonnell sometime in October. The goal is to get my PE and become what they call a Project Manager (which is what I interviewed for). I have been hired into the Electrical Transmission & Distribution group, which is the fastest growing, busiest division within the company. I will be making more money (w/ the potential to make LOTS more money due to their insane year-end bonus structure) and will actually be doing some real f'ing engineering which is very, very exciting to me. Being in the consulting world and dealing with billable hours is also something new for this dude.

I am planning on October 5 being my last day at CTL, meaning that I give my two weeks notice this Friday. I have to do some research on this because I have no idea what this entails. A phone call? Something in writing? Whatever. I will then have the following week to be home for my sister's wedding and not worry about dumb strike duty in Iowa. Then I will have a week off (probably) and start Monday, 10/22 (probably). I couldn't care less about my current job at this point, but being a stand-up dude, I will keep working hard and properly handing off my stuff to the appropriate individuals.

Long term, this may result in a move for our family b/c now we are in a location that is inconvenient for my work travel and for William & Lewis' daycare. However, if that happens it will be > 1 year from now.

I am a happy dude.

Unrelated: you all should be receiving some snail mail announcing the birth of Lewis (even you Heaves, all the way over there in Germany). So, look out for those.
