Way To Go, Casey!

I am pleased to report that my very good friend (and fellow MBA) Casey Doyle has landed a post-graduation job at none other than ... Microsoft. He starts October 3rd.

In the original version of this post (the one that exists on an alternate plane of existence, 'cause it's not gonna exist on this one), I detailed the crazy odyssey Casey has been on since freakin' February to find his perfect work. I talked about the employment agreement that was invalidated by corporate restructuring; the handshake agreement that, apparently, wasn't; the "perfect" job that turned out to be a total nightmare (and precipitated a resignation). I also detailed the crazy, Brazil-esque recruiting and HR stories.

(No, really. All that happened. To one guy. In the last six months.)

But the post got too long, and too detailed, and, frankly, it started to feel like telling tales out of school. So I swiped with the mouse, punched DELETE, and, dear readers, this is what you're getting.

Mostly, just want to convey my pleasure at welcoming my newest coworker to the Empire. Casey was the guy who got me to take a good, hard look at a career at Microsoft, and, well, here I am. (And now here we are!)

It's gonna be great to see you on campus, man.
