new job 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 6/16/2010 01:36:00 AM

my new job is going to be at the place located on the map, in bridgeport. i got a good offer today and i think i'm going to take it. as much so because it's the first offer i've had and it would be a nice one for a while. even if i'm only there for a year it would be good to do, its a supplier quality engineer position and most of the suppliers are in state. should be fun for a little while, getting to check out new places is always a good time. plus i don't mind the travel.

i need a place to live down there. anyone got any suggestions? i;d like to stay along the merit parkway or even 91/95 if i could. i don't really want to live in bridgeport as its a scummy town but some of the surrounding areas are pretty good. i wouldn't even mind living downtown new haven if i could find a good place. cities are good and new haven is a good one. i've been told that wallingford is do-able but it can be a 60 min commute some days. i'd like to avoid that if possible but at the same time i'd rather not make my commutes to see my friends an epic event.

i'll be a lot closer to NYC here, perhaps i should get some yankee tickets....

-------------------------------

i pre-ordered an iphone 4 this morning. it was a tough decision over the droid incredible. i've had verizon long enough that i'd have a nice upgrade discount but in the end, the iphone is just too awesome, verizon no longer works in VT for me, battery life is important, and i can live without flash on my phone. i'm excited for the upgrade in phone tech as it'll be a big one for me.  i've been looking at iphone apps and prepping my new tech life. expect more mobile posts and modern tech apps. part of updating the website was in prep for getting an iphone. i'll be posting more and adding more links to videos, facebook and twitter feeds and generally expecting a more interactive web. the way it should be. i'm expecting to spend at least 2 days a week on the road with this job so there should be a lot more mobile updates. the iphone will help that. and i need someone else to get one to use the facetime app, seriously, its the best video phone ever.

congrats on the new job!

as far as places to live go, weston and some areas west are nice, but as you pointed out, further from friends (and i have no idea about cost of living). i dont know much about hamden or north haven, but they seem to be close by. depending how bad the traffic on 95 is thru new haven branford or guilford might even be reasonable choices too.
