  1. Congrats C-Gar!

    Pete, my dad is down in Costa Rica right now for his annual rite of sitting on the beach and reading books and chilling out and probably enjoying Costa Rica in 420 different ways.

  2. LOL, Biff. Still waiting for work from my new managers, but the OT should not be a problem. I’ve moved from the worst spot on the trading desk – I sat on the end – back to a cubicle, which is substantially larger than the cubicle at my last firm. So, I have a modicum of privacy again, for the OT, using my personal BlackBerry should the need arise, etc.

  3. CGar, I’m glad to see the new position is not going to have a negative impact on your ability to post in the OT. That’s a PLUSA prerequisite when accepting a new job offer.

  4. Thanks for the good wishes, all.

    DCB, it’s inevitable that I’ll still be on working groups with her given the way in which my division works, but at least I won’t be reporting to her any more. As it is, I’ve had a couple of final emails to send to her this morning, and I’m having a PTSD reaction with each one!

    Yes, dave, my former colleagues (and good friends) are somewhat jealous. Truth be told, while I generally liked what I was doing, I won’t miss it – the workload was totally unpredictable, no idea on a given day what the volume would be, and there was never any way to plan or get things done in advance.
