My new job with Terracon starts on Monday officially, even though technically I have been working there as a consultant for 6 months. I am really excited, because I get to stay in one city and work with Sharepoint only. No more consulting for a while at least. I also get a huge salary bump and probably a slight tax bump. That means I may be able to buy myself more toys…Maybe if I can bribe my boyfriend with a video ipod I will be able to get an Iphone:)
I'm also speaking at the Office Developer User Group in Kansas City in November. I am trying to come up with an abstract and a biography, but failing miserably. I am going to try and speak about backing scripts for Sharepoint and restoring Sharepoint in the event that a site fails or the entire collection fails. I am a bit nervous, because I have never actually spoken in front of a bunch of developers outside of meetings. I have been doing a bit of in house Sharepoint Training via Webex, but it is nothing like speaking in front of a group of people. I am hoping that I can start down a track where I get more involved in the Sharepoint Community. This will be a test on how I will do in the future. I really really hope that I don't freak out or stutter.
