House In Raleigh

As a follow-up to my entry about being “Home”less, I thought I would let you in on our house searching process here in North Carolina. Last week, after about a week of searching…late into the nights, we found a house in northwest Raleigh. We looked all over the Triangle..we looked in Cary, Morrisville, Durham, Apex, Holly Springs, and finally decided to make an offer on a house in NW Raleigh. It was yesterday that we finally got the signed offer acceptance via e-mail. So, we have scheduled out the inspections, etc. We’re shooting for an extremely quick close…October 27th. I’ll post pictures of it soon.

Big Day Tomorrow

Dan Warmenhoven, ex-IBMer and the current Chief Executive Officer of NetApp (my 6th line manager) will visit our brand new RTP site for the ribbon cutting event. We will also be holding an Open House at the new site tomorrow. Today was pretty hectic too as flowers, signs, pictures, and video equipment were put into place and cleaning is still going on as I write this. The landscapers and contractors were rushing to put trees, flowers, sod, walkways, and tiles into place.

We have an all-hands/luncheon tomorrow at noon with Dan…I think the agenda says that there will be about 150 people at the event.

“Home”less

I am no longer a property owner in the state of Arizona. The new owners wanted to close a little early, so as of 4:00pm Eastern time today, the property changed ownership. I’m now homeless….at least for another couple of weeks.
