Twiddling my thumbs

[peterjca]

I'm off to work at a start-up company in January. Having only just changed jobs, it was awkward resigning on the day my three month probationary period was up. HR wanted me to do a powerpoint presentation on my first three months and I thought what's the point of lying about being satisfied by the work. In actual fact I was poached by the company that interviewed me the day after my current employer interviewed me. The start-up hadn't got its funding in place and so couldn't offer me the job then. Bit of a risky move, but it's a good one career-wise. In at the start as a technical architect to take a prototype (which won an innovation award) to a sellable software product, with lots of R&D along the way.

I've been twiddling my thumbs here the last week and a bit with little to do but surf the internet
