Blackberry Blogging

One of the new toys assigned to me recently is a Blackberry PDA/Phone. It's a small pager-like device that works as a standard cellphone (tri-band) and wireless e-mail PDA. It has a little qwerty keyboard that you type on with your thumbs. Not something that I would want to type on for long...but good enough to tap out a thought. Since I can post from anywhere, I thought I'd give it a try. More fun with geek gadgets!

 
New Job

Last Monday, I started a new project at ConocoPhillips. I finished up the COE project on Oct. 1st, and started with a E-mail Archiving group on the 4th. This time, I'm working with a smallish team of people rolling out an Outlook add-on called Meridio. This is a global project, rolling out to every ConocoPhillips location throughout the world. I've been asked to get my passport and shots updated, since they may send me overseas if the need arises.

I'm very thankful that my previous project manager was able to help me get onboard with this new job. It's relatively long-term, too...currently scheduled to run through next August, although will probably run into the Fall time-frame. We are breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that we aren't facing the upcoming holiday season without a job!

Gotta run. I'll fill in some more details soon.
