New job

As of Tuesday, I will no longer be Palatine High School’s Computer Assistant II (CA2) and Webmaster. No, Tuesday is when I start my new job at Conant High School as their Network Technician (NT). With the departure of their previous NT, and the end of the school year being the prime time to start working on hard drive images for the fall, I have to hit the ground running when I start at CHS.

Things are moving quite fast. Two weeks ago the job was posted, and last Friday my interview was scheduled for Monday. By Wednesday I was picked as the new NT. Right now I’ve got mixed feelings about everything. For one, I’m leaving a great family at PHS, and there are many people I am going to miss.

With so little time between finding out about being picked and starting the new job, there is a number of people at PHS I won’t have time to say goodbye to. However, as a CHS alumnus, I know that I’m also going into another family with great people. It’s a different family than PHS, but a family nonetheless. This will be a huge change for me, so I’ve got some anxiety about it all, too. I can only imagine the new frontier that awaits me at CHS.

    Mark thats so GREAT!!! Congratulations! I know it’s a little scary and overwhelming - especially since it all moved so fast, but I bet this is going to be a good change-up. I’m sure you’ll be missed at PHS, but you can always meet up for a drink after work! Anyway, had to say Way to Go, You Rock!
