Lately I have been searching for a job that would better suit my interests and abilities as well as better suit our family needs (benefits, more pay, etc). Anyway, this evening I received and accepted an offer from @Task www.attask.com to work on their Client Services team. @Task makes a really great project managment software.
I will spend my time providing training and consulting to prospective and new clients. I will be one of the few team members responsible for providing training on site (at the client's office) throughout the country. This means I could travel up to 50-60% of the time. However, I will never be gone on a weekend and our trips are never more than 1 1/2 -4 1/2 days long. At the office I will be involved in providing customer support on the phone, online forums, and in our "boot camp" training sessions. See this Site: http://www.attask.com/services-training.html
Anyway, We serve all sorts of organizations ranging from universities (University of Washington) to large corporations (Bank of America). I am super excited to go this direction and to finally have found a career type job that fits my training, experience, and interests.
Best of all, it pays really great and has full benefits. Sigh...Been a long time coming!
Thanks for all your prayers and support as we have been looking for such an opportunity for a long time.
Ugh...now it's time to look for a family car...oh bother.

Adam and Amy, Yeah! I'm so excited for you both. I know you have been worried about this for a long time so I'm really happy for you. I feel bad for Amy that you have to be gone so much but I'm glad that you will have benefits and pay now. Way to go Adam!
Congrats, bud!! We've been praying hard for you and your family. I hope the travel won't be too difficult for Amy and a new baby. We'll try and fill in the gaps the best we can.
I'm filled with gratitude and relief!

Congrats Adam!!! Best of luck to you in this new career.
I hope the traveling doesn't get to be too much. It's fun for a while, but too much of it isn't much fun for anyone involved. Glad you've got this new opportunity. Go get 'em, Tiger.
Good luck with the car shopping. Remember gas prices when looking for the "family car"! Gas prices are really doing us all in huh! I'll be glad school's out just for that reason -- less driving!
Oh-- and congrats on the new job too!
Thanks everyone - we really do appreciate all of your support.
And yes - the gas mileage does concern me! We're considering a van (it's hard to resist all of the space), but I hate that they are all V6 engines with the lower gas mileage - it kills me.
We'll see what happens...
Yup, our van has 6 cylinders, but still gets over 20 mpg. It's still a far cry from the Corolla or Prism you're driving, but not too bad. I won't force a minivan on anyone, but it sure is useful. Sliding doors (saves space in parking lots and garage), cargo area in back, smaller tires (cheaper to replace than SUV's), but less cool.
Oh well. Oh, and generally cheaper than SUVs of the same vintage. How can you go wrong? I've obviously been converted.
