Thank God It's Tuesday
I'm glad Monday is over.
I officially gave my notice to WizKids yesterday and told them that I would be accepting the offer from Sony Online Entertainment. I will be working as a Brand Manager for the San Diego Office, but will be embedded in Denver. Most everyone took it very professionally. There's a couple of people that appear to be snubbing me in the hallway, and have yet to say a word to me since I sent the email. People react to things in different ways, I suppose. My departure will certainly pile more work on the backs of folks that are already busy, and I do feel horribly guilty about that, but it was really something I did for my family.
The family and I are very excited about the move. Denver has 300 days of sunshine a year. (I think that's a guarantee.) The job is great money, houses are MUCH cheaper there, and the traffic is not as bad. We can finally get a big yard for the kids and I think in the melee of talking to them we promised them a dog.
The details are still being hashed out and now we have the horrible task of moving, trying to sell a house, buy a house, get two cars 1000 miles, etc. Gimmie another deep breath, folks.

Holy crow! Sounds like a good move. I love Denver. And San Diego. Lots of worse places to have to visit for work.
Congratulations, my friend.
And good luck. (hug)
P.S. I have a really dumb Kerry Blue Terrier you can have. Cheap.

And the number of former Decipher employees and/or players working at SOE increases by one. :)
