Joey accepted a new position at work. He is now going to be a field service engineer specializing in GPS. His new boss referred to him as the GPS guru. Basically he has to know every product his company sells and then has to go help the customers fix any problems they can't fix. So this new job will involve a lot of travel. He is excited. It is the perfect job for him. Every day is different and keeps him on his toes. The position involves domestic travel and lots of international travel as well. He will be a military adviser which will require 2 weeks of military training...weapons and all and maybe travel into hostile territory. Ummmm with that all being said I am very supportive of his promotion and say bring on the frequent flyer miles!!!! :)
Joey went to AZ a few months ago for 2 weeks and we managed just fine. They say if he travels domestically he will be gone for a few days at a time and no more than 2 weeks internationally. We will have to see how it plays out. He is very excited and I am excited for him. Today was supposed to be the last day at his current position...still a position that he loves and hates to leave......however his bosses boss got wind that he was leaving and put the kabosh on it for a few more weeks. Apparently the company's goal can not be met if Joey doesn't write software for this one project. Don't they have like 200 software engineers in this division for that? Oh well.....he gets his new title in a week and will get paid even though he will be doing his old job for a maximum of 1 more month. That is when the fiscal year ends.
It is a new adventure and we are both excited to see where it takes us.
