Well, after a few months of being kinda screwed over and set up by my previous employer (not entirely their fault, weird circumstances all around) I finally found a new job...still doing web development, of course, but a new role.

I found a job that is maybe a 10 minute commute, through a no-traffic side road. Rather than just development I get to work with (and in) the marketing department doing U.I. design, pushing marketing initiatives, studying analytics, and a few things they don't even know they need help with yet...but from my interview I kinda found out about.

It's a good job with a large company co-founded by a local fella. Hearth and Home is the name of it, they have many sub-brands/companies that make fireplaces, one the retails them, another that makes larger scale equipment, etc, etc...a few companies that I will be part of a three person team that manages all the corporate web site, extranets and intranets...

I'm totally stoked and got out of a job I grew to hate. Still sucks though, cuz the company was/is cool, good culture, great coworkers, etc, but when some key people left I got thrust into roles I couldn't possibly fill, and basically feel like I got set up to be a whipping boy for eventual failures...and I ain't letting that happen. I have a successful career of meeting deadlines and making quality product...I am not letting that crap screw it up.

Still, gonna miss the friends I made there...but super excited about the new opportunity.
