Please note that on Monday I will be starting a new job. This is the one I was talking about on the Bahamas trip. Met with two VP's the day after I got back and got an offer 15 minutes after the interview had ended. It is with a decent sized company and an incredible opportunity. I am hitting the ground running with many IT projects right out if the gate. I went in Thursday and met my staff and am looking forward to getting into the job. I will be commuting over an hour each way and that will certainly cut into my time here until I can get a house closer to work. Given my recent luck in house hunting that is still many weeks away. :D I have two more on my list to see and an appointment with a custom home builder as a potential Plan "B".

I am still going to be involved with the board, but you may see less of me for the next while and probably a longer delay in any communications as a result. It will also cut into my diving as well, but that is the price you pay with a new position, at least in the short term. They are in the process of expanding into the US so there is a good chance I will be doing more travel in the eastern states over the coming years. :wub:

Still, don't hesitate to contact me if you are having any issues with the board. That is what I am here for. :cheerleader:

Have a great weekend... :wub:

:wub: Congrats on the new job Simon!! Hope it's a great move for you. Good luck on the househunting too - you'll find something soon.
As for me, I'm feeling pretty scubalicious.

Hey congrats on the new job! :wub:

Having moved 3 times in the past 7 years, I've always found the finding a house part the hardest piece. Good luck in your search. :wub:

Good luck on the new job!!! I have to drive an hour to work myself, but I don't see myself moving. I don't usually have traffic issues and I love where I live. Something will work out for you I'm sure. Just try to relax and enjoy the ride until then!!! :diver:

Congratulations on the new job! You sounded like you were pretty confident down in the Bahamas, and looks like you were right!

And I discussed this with someone down on the Bahamas trip; can't remember if it was you or not, so I'll repeat it... When I had an hour commute, getting audiobooks from Audible.com to listen to kept the drive a fair bit less boring.

(Then there was a period when I had a 2+ hour commute, and the audiobooks kept me sane enough to avoid purchasing automatic weaponry to slag the cars in my way.)

Yup, it was me... OK, I will see if I can return the Uzi and pick up some audiobooks... :diver:

Simon -- after our last bonding experience, if I come to visit you it won't feel right if we don't share the same bedroom. Separate beds of course, otherwise that would just be weird. :D

We would not want that Squiddy... :thankyou:

Well, I am commuting each day 2+ hours and it does not leave a lot of time in my day for writing. Sorry if I am not quite as vocal as usual. Am still looking for a house and hope to grab something soon.

Great job though. No complaints about that at all. :thankyou:
