Totally Cool

So it’s no where a final deal, but the remote possibility is just wicked outrageous. When I mentioned a few weeks ago the predicament I was in with work, I called my good friend Mr. I.T. Guy for advice on how to go with my career choice. I knew all along which path I really needed to take, and everyone from my family and friends to the President of the US wanted me to select a certain path, but I felt I needed everyone’s advice, even Mr. I.T. Guy’s advice on my choice and thankfully, Mr. I.T. Guy gave me that last pep talk minutes before I made my choice and I picked the one everyone wanted me to select. It was a good decision, the best decision and I have slept better and felt better in the past 2 weeks – more then I have in a long time.
In the meantime, I have tried to get together with Mr. I.T. Guy for lunch so I can catch him up on all that has been going on, and we had plans for lunch yesterday (Friday) but something that is totally in another post had me cancel our lunch and reschedule (Girlscout’s other knee popped out and had us at the doctors. Ugh.) Now. I have known for about a month now that Mr. I.T. Guy has been looking for a new job. Haven’t thought about it much, but I know he’s been looking. He told me yesterday in one of our many email exchanges that he had an interview with the 1st company I worked with when we moved to Denver 10 years ago. This is where I meet Mr. I.T. Guy!! I thought that was pretty funny that he was considering going back to a job he had before, because what was even funnier, in one of our team meetings the day before it was mentioned that we could possibly bring on another developer onto our team now but the problem is the learning curve and getting up to speed on our systems and I threw it out as a joke that Mr. I.T. Guy is looking for a job. That’s all I said.
So with our emails going back and forth – I joked back at him and said if he would consider our 1st company of employment, would he consider coming back to work with me at where I am now. A joke I tell you. A joke.
He wrote me back and asked me who could he talk to.
Dude.
I went back to my new boss and I said “hey – you know that joke I said the other day, how serious do you want to take it, because it sounds like he is serious too.” She thought about it, asked me some general questions (why did he leave, did he leave on good grounds?) and said she would think about it over the weekend.
Can you imagine this? The guy who got me my job 4 year ago… could be the guy I get a job opening 4 years later for… and we would be working together again. My work-husband would be back! Talk about your job referrals!
Wicked cool.
