Well, in a fast development last week, I found myself being transfered from my 6-6 W,T,F shift here , to a T,W,T shift here.

The new shift works better for me (I actually will have weekends free!) and the Tech Center is a little closer to where I live than the TPC-central was, plus they have more stuff to play with at the Tech Center (I'm looking forward to getting some time in on the test clusters). Additionally, I was starting to desire a change of some kind in my life - I was starting to feel trapped again, and this should help shake things up a bit.

On the downside, I'll miss seeing the people I worked with, and there is the normal uncertainty from a large change at work, but overall, this is looking good.
