…gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire….
Just a quick blogpost to tell folks that I will be at VMworld Vegas this year (I arrive late Sunday afternoon). I had some frequent flyer points and hertz points to use. So I was able to cover my cost of travel to the event with minimal costs. A big shout out to the communities folks (you know who you are!) for seeing me clear for a bloggers ticket (not that I’ve been that prolific in this my gap year). I wasn’t sure initially if I was going to make the event – but with a cool head I decide that I couldn’t really not attend, as the event is a great opportunity for me to meet, greet and reconnect with people in the community & industry, and start the process of looking for my next role. I’ve assumed that its going to take anything from 3-6-9 months to find a suitable position – so it doesn’t feel too early to start putting the feelers out (so to speak), as in my experience things can take time to reach fruition. With that said, if there is anyone out there reading this who thinks there might be interesting opportunity that would suit my sort of unique background and skills – do get in touch by the usual methods (linkedin or twitter). As for what I’m looking for I’m open-minded and open to suggestions. Although another stint in vendorland or cloudland seems the most likely place.
After the trip I will be heading off to the Shenandoah National Park in West Virginia. In case you don’t know its part of the Appalachian Trail. I’ve enjoyed to holidays along the trail in the last decade, but I felt I need to see this end of it. Not least so I can take my guitar to the banks of the river, sing Country Roads!
