Branching out in IT

This year 2016 marks some changes on the job front. Honestly, after 14 years at Sprint, I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be included in a round of corporate layoffs, but it happened, way back in 2009, then another layoff in 2014. I cherish those days at Sprint. I worked with good people. So I had the privilege to do contract work for a while up until Jan 2016. On the 25th of January, I will be working at Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance as a full time permanent employee as a Business Systems Analyst. It will be a little different look and feel from traditional software development work I have done for the last 34 years. I am looking forward to the opportunities that await me at Blue Cross.  The opportunity to meet new people and be part of a new work culture should be fun.  I only hope I will be able to use my headphones at my desk.  My music and my work go hand in hand...always!
