New position for Paul!

I received the offer and accepted it. My boss is agreeing to a Feb 5th transition date, which will likely be right when I get back from my week and a half of vacation watching Gabe and Asher while mom nurses baby and regains strength.

I am reading up on t6he Ada programming language right away to prepare for the move. I'll be going from a nasty steel production warehouse from the sixties into a new single-story office building with huge windows. That will be nice. I'll be around a lot of other engineers my age and will just have a much nicer environment. Exciting!

New position for Paul?

I interviewed for another position within Rockwell Collins today and am very excited about it. It is a software engineering position. If hired, I will be writing test software for Rockwell Collins government systems products such as cockpit displays. The job requires hardware knowledge, which is most of my background, and is a low-level software position with some application writing. I will get to use some C, but most of the software will be written in Ada. I have never used Ada, so I am reading up on it now. It is only used by flight critical applications for the most part. It is very readable and structured. I am really looking forward to this opportunity, and based on how the interview went today, I think I'm going to get it.
