Thats awesome! Good to hear it had a happy ending

 

great stuff, Jeff! Good luck with the transition.
How much time off you taking?

 

very nice.
what's next on the mod list?

 

Jeff, glad to hear it worked out. I went through a similar situation in March, and in retrospect, I'm so glad that it happened. I love my new company and job. I hope you'll feel the same way I do in a year.

Thats awesome man congrats

 

wow thats sweet. congrats. i wish that could happen to me. 2 months of extra salary is awsome too. i would definitely put some of that into my S....

 

Congrats...

That said (and I'm no CPA...that's my *wife's* job...), you might want to investigate what both your severance package as well as your $8K raise is going to do to your tax-basis. Prepare now so you don't get bit later .

Again...congrats!!!

Jeff,

The shorter commmute is worth more than 8K

 

Thanks, guys... I honestly feel like just about the luckiest guy on the planet about now. Hopefully it stays this way.

The opportunity was so good and I am so anxious to get back into it that I started immediately. No break. No vacation. I am actually still pretty chilled from my little trip to California over Christmas... Another break just isn't necessary.

Besides, as many of you figured out, a paycheck on top of my severance means more toys...

Actually, for the first time in my life, I am going to be smart about the money. I have a fair amount of debt to deal with. I'll be much happier about spending money on toys if I take care of that stuff first. I may even be able to save some for the next rainy day.

 

Next lunch meet is on Jeff
