Fired Monday, hired Wed, start Friday
The Silicon Valley still works in Internet Time.
My CEO cancelled my project and fired me. The whole thing looks fishy to some of my friends. One of my friends that is a CFO elsewhere was particularly helpful over the phone Monday night; she's my main career councelor these days. Being an out of work 50 yo engineer could be dangerous.
Fortunately, I had an offer from October that I was able to renew. So I will start on Friday at an early stage company. It turns out the office building is the same one I worked in during 97-98. It's a great 14 person company with well known successful founders.
Also, my name was in today's local newspaper quoting my off-the-cuff 2006 Prediction for free Wi-Fi. And, I sold some Warriors tix for major profit yesterday.
Pretty wild way to start the new year.
Rock On.
