Africa Photos Posted -- Part 2

I can't believe it's been over a month since arriving back from Zambia. Here are the long overdue photos from Camp Life 2008. You can view the thumbnail photos below or click here to see the larger slideshow with full captions.

A Change Will Do You Good

Today is my last day at Oracle. As I write this, I'm packing up my cube and preparing DHL labels for the three laptops I managed to collect during the past 5-plus years at Oracle-Siebel-Ineto Services. I've accepted a job at Convergys working in their Relationship Technology Management group. While the company is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, I'll remain in the Austin area working from home. They have a Round Rock office, but it's at capacity for now. I've put my name on the waiting list for an office in the event something opens up.

I'll be doing pretty much the same thing I did at Oracle. I was ready for a change, and am looking forward to working with Mike again.

What does one do when you have three days off before starting a new job on Monday? You go to Mexico during hurricane season! Karin and I leave tomorrow morning for three days in Puerto Aventuras which is just down the beach from Playa del Carmen. Ike seems to be cooperating with our plans so far, but you never know.

Karin's paper goes to production next week so this seemed the best time to go. Plus, we wanted to be back in time for Luke's birthday party. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

So be on the lookout for my new contact information soon. I'll be looking for any excuse to get out of the house so if you want to meet for lunch, I'm all in.
