06 Apr 09 The moving bug

When I was living with my parents we moved a lot. By the time I was 15 I had lived in 6 different cities, each with their own schools. I have now lived in my condo for nearly 4 years in Renton. With my new job I have been traveling all over the US and one place in particular I seem to enjoy going to more then anywhere else… NYC.

Whenever I have a customer or even prospect to visit in NYC I literally jump at the chance. Hell I’ll even arm wrestle people over it. When I’m at JFK needing to go back home I actually don’t look forward to going back home, but rather want to stay. That feeling to me indicates it is time for a change.

So… in hopefully September 2009 I will be moving from Renton, WA to one of the fiv boroughs (focusing on Brooklyn right now) and I wont be the only one that is going. My brother (who is finally graduating college in T-1 month) will be joining me on our new quest.

What does it mean for work? Nothing from what I can tell. The cool part of my job is that I travel and the funny thing is that living in NYC means I am 3 hours ahead of office plus with a 109 million people a year traveling through one of the three airports (EWR, LGA and JFK) in the NYC area, flights literally go almost everywhere in the US or around the world. As a matter of fact, the other day it was cheaper to fly from JFK to LAX then it was from SEA to LAX.

It’s a change but it is a change I really look forward to. With the speed I update this blog, it could possibly mean that the next time I’m posting from somewhere in NYC.
