Moving On

So I quit my old job at Setup Site after working for them for two years. I won’t go into the details of why I decided to quit now, but do know I’ve already been hired at another company thanks to a referral from a friend working there. I won’t be doing much web related technical support anymore as it’ll be more anything-goes in the field as IT support; basically I’ll have to be quick on my feet and learn new stuff everyday to fix whatever issue(s) I’ll be dealing with. Pay is roughly the same as before but the possibilities for promotions and various other benefits easily makes this new job a lot more worthwhile than what I had before. Really the only negatives I can currently see is getting up early and driving around the state to handle calls, but odds are I’ll get used to those soon enough.

On getting the job, I was nervous yet at the same type felt aloft about the whole thing. My interview experiences are pretty limited so I did not know what to expect coming in, but after everything was said and done, I was offered the job on the spot. From what I found out from the boss, they weren’t initially going to hire until February or March but after my friend brought in my resume and his recommendations, decided to give me a shot. Not that I’m complaining mind you, but I swear every time I get a job it’s never “normal” in my opinion ^^;;

This time around I won’t say what company I’m working for but once again, it seems to be small. At least unlike my previous employment, this company is actually growing and things can only get bigger and better both for the company and its employees. I’m pretty excited yet nervous as I start on Monday but honestly, it’ll be a refreshing change from the past couple of months working at home. Plus, even though I’m not exactly the most social person out there, it’ll be nice to interact in person with human beings again after two years of just dealing with them over the phone! Tis good as I’ll be able to put faces to names and the like, plus I can finally get out of my hikikomori way of life of recent.

With the new job, however, there will be one major change that may affect some of you out there: I’m “quitting” the anime raw scene. I put quitting in quotes due to the fact I may be able to raw stuff on the weekends but due to my laziness and seeing how other groups do it faster than me, will most likely not bother. Unlike my previous job where I was in one location, the new one will have me going all over the place so I won’t have any time to even try to look for the raws for the day. Not like me quitting the raw’ing game is going to be that big of a deal, since now a days there are way too many raw groups out. The sad thing is 70% of them all get raws from the same places, Share and WinNY! I could write some more about this subject but I think I’ll just be trailing on the topic which I could write a separate small post about some other time, so I’ll stop here.

Being a raw provider was a fun ride and I’m glad to know there were a few that benefited from the “hard” work I put in since I started about a year ago. To those that downloaded from me, thanks for taking the time to do so and making it worth doing!
