As some of you already know, I started a new position today.  No longer am I a full-time employee for a big company.  As of Friday, I am a hired gun again doing contract work for whomever wants to hire me.  For the foreseeable future, I will be working on a contract for one of the many multi-lettered government agencies in Washington, DC.  Yes, this means that I will no longer be able to work in my jammies all day long, at least for the time being.  Once I get the situation under control, I will be working remotely for a portion of the time.

For the reason behind the change, well, that's very simple.  I was made an offer I couldn't refuse.  I wasn't looking for a new position, but, like the rest of us, was willing to listen to almost anyone who wanted to make an offer to me.  With both my wife and I working, I was able to listen to more offers that didn't include the complete benefit package.  This was one of them.  I am not positive what this new position will entail for me, but it will be good to get back out and interface with clients on a regular basis, even if it means I have to shower on a more regular basis. 

Another side effect of the change is that I am more open for short term projects.  If you are looking for someone to come in and help in pinch with development or administrative issues, give me a holler and I might be able to help out.  If it's in the DC-Baltimore area, so much the better, but I am willing to listen to any one who wants to make the call.
