I’m Engaged & I’m Switching Jobs

Whew… how’s that for two life changing events in a short span.
First, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on top of a mountain in Lake Tahoe on the 27th of July (she said yes) and I will be starting my new job of the 28th of August. Yes, I proposed on 7/27 and will be switching jobs on 8/28… I love palindromes (and coincidences and sarcasm). The workings of these events all occured in the last few weeks and I hadn’t blogged about them (much) because I wanted to get word out in other ways and make things official before I wrote about them. (For those of you keeping score with the net worth updates and how I haven’t had one in a few months, I didn’t want the numbers to clue anyone to the fact that I was going to propose… net worth updates will continue as usual in September October)
So… expect to be reading a little about the first and a lot about the process of the second in the coming days or weeks.

Hey, Congratulations on your engagement!
Congrats on both, the engagement and the job!
I KNEW it (the engagement part at least). Who could resist proposing in Tahoe????
Congrats, man!!! You better send me an invite to the wedding!!!!!
Hey, what great news.
That is so cute that you thought somebody would guess from your net worth reports that you were buying a ring.
Isn’t it funny what our money reveals about us?
Congratulations!
Congratulations. Big steps!
Sucker! Haha, just kidding. Congrats!
Announcing it on 8/8? That’s very lucky in Asian cultures. Planning a wedding in two years on 08/08/08? Not quite a palindrome, but close…
Oh nuts. I’m too busy being sarcastic that I forgot to congratulate you!
whoa. I just posted that at 2:03am, but your timestamp is for 4 hours later… what’s up with your system time?
Congrats! Can’t wait to hear about it.
Congratulations, man!
Dude… big mistake
Congrats!!
BTW, what are the details on the job? Is it that $200k deal you were thinking of?
Thanks for the kind words everyone, the only details I’ll give about the new job are that it’s down the street (no additional commute), it’s an 18% raise and big career step. I’ll be working with some cool technology that I probably won’t be able to talk about.
Congratulations! I hope both work out well for you. Are you going to be helping with the wedding planning or just reporting on the cost of it all?
Have fun w/ the new Top Secret job.
Congratulations on your engagement! If you need any advice on wedding planning, I’ll be glad to assist!
I’ll be writing on the decisions and financials of all the decisions maybe… I’m not sure. I guess it’ll be like the house hunting… haven’t thought that far yet.
18% increase????!!!! You’re the man!!! Beers are on you!!!!!!
Some would read that to mean I was previously undercompensated.
Fabulous news! CONGRATS!!
