Well, that was eventful…
So now, I've "moved on" as they say. No sooner do I get the Active directory thing working using a Data View Web Part in Front Page and a custom query of the profile database than I roll into the bosses office and gave my 2 week notice.
So she says to me "TWO WEEKS??? I'M TALKING TWO DAY AS IN YOU ARE SO OUT OF HERE TODAY!!!"
So, the robot tossed his geek badge to the HR guy, dumped his stuff in a box, and walked it out the door.
Lucky for me, I was able to push my start date ahead two weeks at my new digs. I get an office with a door and a window. I get a laptop and a monitor for twin screen viewing. I've cut 10 minutes off my commute each way. I get bi-weekly paychecks. I can't wear blue jeans anymore except on Friday but I do get the 20% raise.
And, best of all, I get a needy customer. They've got nearly 1000 users in about 25 offices in a dozen countries. They've installed SharePoint Portal 2003 and then migrated it to another domain breaking everything but the top level web sites. They've got another extranet effort underway that's SPS 2003. And, of course, they want 2007 and Office 12 badly.
So it's nice that we'll be working on some real SharePoint solutions and it's nice that I have about 25 things in my task list already. So, if I have all the HR and Orientation stuff out of the way, like they say on Celebrity Death Match, "Let's Get it On" Or is that Extreme Elimination Challenge?
