Well guys.... I've been a graphic/web designer of one sort or another for 9 years now. I took a slightly different route 3 years ago to become a color conversion specialist. Our company is not doing well. Stupid recession. I made it through some REALLY tough lay-offs in the past month. Now I have an announcement, I just put in my 2 weeks notice.
March 24th I start my new job at O'reilly Automotive. Their home office and creative dept. is just 15-20 minutes up the road from where I live now. It's really starting to sink in, and I'm getting excited to make the change. Finally I'll be at a company that will be around for a number of years.
And yeah.... the employee discount at O'reillys will be a lot better than the hokey crap we sell where I am now.
I just hope combining my career and hobby will be a good move and make me more excited about each instead of the opposite. The guys in my car club are pretty excited for me.
