So earlier this week I talked about

job hunting and deciding between offers. I’m going to interrupt myself for a moment to say that “deciding between offers” reminds me forcefully of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof:

Perchik: Money is the world’s curse.
Tevye: May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover.

Poor me, poor me, too many choices! Anyway.  Today I chose the job that offered better compensation, and more importantly – in this case, where the two opportunities were so similar – that displayed more support of my professional development.

A lot of people tweeted to congratulate me, and to find out about the new gig.  I can’t tell you much: It’s a SQL developer/DBA gig with KidKraft, a kid’s furniture and toy company. They seem cool, they have some cool tech and opportunity, it’s a definite move up for me.  Sorry I couldn’t say something more exciting, like “Mircosoft booth babe”, or “God of All Evangalism at PragmaticWorks” (let’s keep going: “Her Majesty’s Product Tester for Red-gate”…”Minister of Forum Stabbiness at SQLServerCentral.com”…), but I’m going to be doing what I want to do: solid database work that’s going to make me a better SQL professional.

MOTHAFUCKIN WORD UP!

Ahem.  That is all.
