Woooot!!!!! Daddy has a new job!!!
The very gracious folks at Cray have extended me an offer to work in the Filesystem group as a Software Engineer III. Sweet! I will be working from the Medota Heights, MN location — so all you Mpls/St. Paul folks get ready, I’m a moving on in! Cray is a fantastic company, I’ve worked with them and their hardware for the last year or so. I am hoping my experience translates nicely into a easy transistion there. I will be working to help support Lustre and other filesystems on the Cray hardware line, so watch out CFS — I’m Baaaaack. 
Thankfull this ends a very anxious (and broke!) job search for the last 6 weeks. I’m ecstatic that it is over, but I do have to say that not doing much for 6 weeks was a right nice vacaction. I’m going to be starting the new J.O.B. on the 13th of March and I am so looking forward to working and earning my moohlah again. I now have a very hectic week and a half to get my current residence packed up and cleaned, then hang around Billings for a week to wrap up some paperwork stuff, then on the road and moving here around the 9th or 10th. Wee! Thankfully Aunt Red has offered for us to hang out at here place until we get settled and find a new place. I will most certainly be taking her up on that offer!
Well — I better get back to enjoying the minus 10F goddamned weather here in MN. Yeah, stay inside has a nice sane ring to it.

I’m hoping! What about #furburger — that was always fun
I’m sure where ever we decide to berate each other, it’ll be a good time. Ahh, the poop humor, jokes about Brian’s Mom, Indian food cooking hints and more jokes about Brian’s Mom! Sadly (for me) I will be wearing pants for this job, so the jokes about not wearing pants will have to be exchanged for something like more Canadian jokes.
Cheers~
