I finalized my limited negotiations this afternoon for a job that took four technical phone interviews and two trips up there for face-to-face interviews with a total of seven engineers and three managers.

I accepted a position with McKesson Corp. (#15 on the fortune 500 list) who is located in Alpharetta Georgia. I start on Monday, September 28th. I will continue in my trade as a Software Quality Assurance Analyst.

I want to publicly thank Dave & Carol (GA Crew) who have a special place in my heart. Words alone will be inadequate to express my heart-felt thanks for all their support and contribution to making all of this so successful. Carol works at McKesson and was instrumental in getting my resume in front of the right people up there, and is such a huge cheerleader in my behalf.

Part of my compensation package is a generous allotment for relocation expenses. This takes all the pressure off of Patti for having to pack our "stuff". I have already started house hunting, and Patti has been active on the web with numerous real estate search sites.

We will sell our Palm Coast place and permanently move up there, most likely in the Cherokee County area. We have a year to take advantage of the relocation offering, so Patti will continue to work here while we wait for our house to sell. I'll come back to Florida every-other weekend, but, most likely, will get my Street Glide up there asap. I'll have Patti's bike here in Florida when I can take advantage of an afternoon out.

Zillions of details to be worked out, but I will trust everything will work out just fine.

No one will be able to stop me from remaining active on this forum, specifically, here in the Florida Crew section. Too soon to know anything about the Ocala Rally, Biketoberfest, etc. But trust that I will do everything to figure this out too.

So this isn't good bye, not even close. Hugs everyone!

 

Let me be the 1st to congratulate you... :-)

 

I just love happy endings....
gonna miss riding with ya though...your one of the good guys...Florida is losing out on this deal....oh and btw FCFFFC...I think you can figure that out....

 

Congratulations on the new job... We were wondering where you'd been this weekend on our Indian River Ride and now we know. We're gonna miss you around these parts, but I'm sure plenty will make the trip up there to visit.

We may get a chance to do more riding together in the future. Hadn't said much to anyone yet but the wife and I are considering a move to Tennessee this coming year.

Congrats Paul, I couldn't be happier for you. I have to admit though that I'm damn jealous that you're going to be that close to the twisties. Best wishes on your move, and hope you can still make it to Ocala.

 

Congrats on the job...I lie in the Orlando area and have a house in Murphy NC. There is a place called blood mountain you have to ride. it is 10x better than the dragons tail and is only about one our from you in alpharetta.

Safe Riding...Best to you and the family

 

Big congrats, Paul! Gonna miss ya around these parts. Although, I'm already lookin forward to the ride around the Atlanta area!

 

Congratulations Paul.
