I just started a new job within the same company at another location, after the old location closed.
So far it is pretty nice. There are a lot of similarities with the old job but there is enough that is new and different to keep me well stimulated.
I got very lucky in that the first few problems I was assigned were right up my alley, so I was able to help and also help transfer some of my skills to other people to help them contribute. All in all, very satisfying.
The main downside is the distance - for now I am commuting a VERY long distance. I need to figure out how I am going to handle that.
On the finance side, I was able to keep a nice salary and benefits, but with the added commuting costs it is a minor net loss, especially when compared to how bad it could have been. So I need to cut costs NOW! Hence, I am back here! I am spending today cutting down my ever-present stack of mail! Two things I need to do immediately are refinance some CC debt to 0% and renegotiate my cable bill and get rid of my landline.
First week in my new job - so far so good!

creditcardfree, I am just about now ready to pull the trigger on a Capital One 0% offer on an existing account with no balance on it, but there is a 3% fee. I do have a bunch of Discover offers laying around, but I think they are for a new account. I just tried to pull one of my credit reports today, and I thought I might also spring for the additional to get my credit rating. With the amount of Student Loans that I have co-signed, I am getting concerned about maxing out my credit.
