The one where I update for anyone who still hangs around here, caring about such things, with the news that I did get a new job.

I figured, because my last post was filled so completely with doom and gloom, that it might be a good idea to go ahead and provide an update to my job search status for anyone still lingering around these parts who happens to 1) not have heard about this otherwise, 2) still gives a hang and 3) really, really is too involved in knowing things about me.

I did, in fact, get a new job in mid-September. Familial tragedy has been averted and all seems right with the world again. I’m like a young kid on a bright new career adventure, discovering the big, wonderful world around me for the first time!

*cue the inspirational music*

I am now the Director of Marketing at a big e-commerce site called Alps Controls. We sell HVAC and building controls equipment, and if you’re wondering why a movie character who makes a living selling HVAC and building controls equipment has never been created, well I’ve been wondering the same thing. It’s an awesome industry, with awesome products, awesome customers, AWESOME trade shows, and in general features previously unheard-of levels of awesomeness.

All of that, and the fact that they’ve hired me and kept and my wife and children off of the streets, is – I assure you – awesomely true.

I’ve written about the job in a little more detail here, and I’m also blogging for my new company here.

As I mentioned last time, I’m still not completely sure where this will leave my beloved Burbanked. Time will tell. Taking a look at my traffic stats, it doesn’t appear to make a massive amount of difference if I’m blogging here with regularity or not – a fact that fills me with equal amounts of relief and abject depression.

In short: I hope to pop back up here from time to time. Stay tuned. Or don’t and I’ll catch you elsewhere.
