Start Wearing Purple
I’m pleased to mention that I just mailed paperwork over to Yahoo! Inc. headquarters in Sunnyvale, California accepting their offer and signing away the rights to any inventions I might make while toiling in their internet forges. Clang! will sound my internet hammer, and pixelated sparks will flicker in the air over my head. The Thanksgiving holiday has extended my two weeks at SugarCRM, but I have a vested interest in making the transition smooth: some of my options have vested! Plus, I’ve made some good friends at Sugar, and I’d hate to leave a tangle of a half-finished project.
I start at Yahoo! on December seventh, and I will be working in the Systems Engineering and Development group as a Software Development Engineer. Basically, I’ll be jumping feet first into a team of full-stack web developers and systems admins, who build and maintain web applications from the system calls to the css positioning — at least if you use the intense interviews as a reference.
So, there you have it, an opaque job description and my start date, which are the two things that people seem to want. Well, maybe not an opaque description, but that’s what I have for you.
Oh, maybe you don’t know what Yahoo does. Maybe this video will help:
If you like that song (which I do), you might enjoy the full version. Warning: the video is crazy. Crazy awesome. Like a fox.
CONGRATULAWESOMES! =) Everything’s coming up Milhouse!
Congratulations, again, sweetheart! I am very proud of you!
Damn, but purple is not just a favorite color of mine, but so is this song. I think this job was destined for you, my friend. As I am most likely destined to become a massage therapist exclusively for Yahoo! employees.
Oh man ! You begin tomorrow !
I retain my breath for you.
Congrat.
Thank you, all!
