2011 Turning out to be a Wonderful Year!

My posts are so boring lately - I need to post more pictures but I spend so much time working on other people's pictures that I never want to work on my own. And I have to convert my RAW file pictures into JPEGS in order to post them. I need to stop being so lazy and just get it done. Sorry.

Anyway, I just wanted to write a post about Eric's new job. Eric's job at SVB was, well, not exactly what we thought it was - to put in nicely. We were very unhappy there and we decided he needed to make a career move. At the beginning of the year, Eric got a job offer from Zion's Bank. It was a good offer, but we wanted to wait until we got our bonus at SVB (which was a couple of months away) before switching jobs so we turned it down.

Well, those couple of months came and went and things got a lot worse at work, not better and so we couldn't wait to leave. Eric called up a recruiter he'd been working with and said he wanted to interview again and the recruiter said the job at Zion's was still available and they were still interested in him. The job description had changed to even a better position, and Eric was able to negotiate even more money and accepted the position right away. YEAH!!!!! We lucked out! Or maybe God gave us a second chance. At any rate, he's SOOOOO much happier where he is and I'm so proud of him! His title is Portfolio Manager for the Equiptment Commercial Lending group (I think) and he has a big office with a window on the 13th floor of their downtown building - pretty cool! Last year was pretty stinky but we feel like this year is going to be so much better.
