I am elated to report that I started working in a new role in my company yesterday! I've been wanting to take on a new challenge and I'd been in the same job since 2006, so I've been trying out a few things. One of the project I've been helping out on, luckily the one I've enjoyed the very most, it turns out can use my help immediately and on an ongoing basis. I'll get to contribute to the overall test strategy as well as do actual testing on a mission critical service for the company! I'm delighted, enthused, pumped, and I love the team I'm working with.

So, while the good news is I'm taking on a new role and I'm learning so much and I'm loving it, the bad news is the reason why I've changed roles is this team really needs my help because they have been low on resources. That means lots of overtime, hard work, and a need for me to be productive instantly and to pick up depth of knowledge yesterday. Also, in addition to my Action Script 3, I'm dusting off my rusty but trusty batch file skills and trying to ramp up on some python for some automation we also needed to be up and running yesterday. Anyhow, I'm very happy to be taking on this new role and I have an opportunity to make a big difference.
