Change is Coming

In the next few weeks, my life will be undergoing some significant changes.  It started out with me leaving WAR, which was a game I played for 4.5 years.  I also took on a Community Management position with StatDrive.  The prize pool is up over $700,000 by the way.

I've also decided to pursue a new full time job.  It's a tough decision since I've been with my current company close to a decade now.  I just feel like my time there has run its course.  It also means that I will no longer work from home, so the commute will cut into my free time.

My free time isn't what it used to be anyway.  Over the past couple months my game playing has been in decline.  This is partly due to my obsessive nature when it comes to things like finding a new job and also due to just getting burned out on MMO's.  Don't get me wrong, I still like them.  I just have been playing them less.

In a few weeks I will start my new job.  It's within the same career, just a different area.  I'm excited, but nervous too.  I've built a nice little comfort zone while working at home, so being back in an office with a commute will shatter that.  On the other hand, I look forward to working with people again.

So what does this all mean for the blog?  I'm not sure.  I currently write my posts before starting work, which won't really be doable once I start at the new job.  Instead I'll have to do my posts at night or on weekends, so we will see what happens.  I really do hope to keep this place alive and well.  Maybe I can take a page from Scarybooster and learn to post from my phone. 

Overall, I'm nervous and excited about the upcoming changes to my life.  Hopefully these changes will be for the best and I won't regret making them.
