Originally posted by Martin View PostCongratulations and good luck in Colorado. No more diving in the narrows, say goodbye to Gallopin' Gertie. While there is no salt water to dive the Rockies offer a lot. I certainly hope this opens a wonderful new chapter in your life!
I'm excited - and quite a bit freaked out at the same time too. It's a huge step - and one that I never imagined that I would be making. I moved back to Washington almost 21 years ago exactly, also for a job, but this time it's different. I have a wife, more stuff (damn you books!) two cats and a dog, and a familiarity with the area that I never had before. But it'll be good.
Originally posted by c marvel View PostGood for you and congrats. Many people here in Yosemite are unhappy and frankly simply put dislike the new main concessionaire. I personally have been saying they are a bunch of uncaring bozos. They are not a nice company (I think NPS f---ed up choosing these people) and I am keeping my eyes open for an opportunity to move on if it comes to that. I'd rather stay here in the park.
Cap
I've always been jealous that you live in Yosemite - I do miss that part of California.
And if you're not confident about your leadership, it does make your job that much more difficult to feel passionate about, so I feel you there. Good luck!

Originally posted by RonClinton View PostWonderful news, Jason! That kind of financial worry and strain can really take a toll, so it’s great you were able to land such a great opportunity and put it behind you. We’ll miss you in WA, but Martin and I will hold down the fort. ;-). I’ve never visited CO, but I’ve always imagined it as a beautiful area of the country...and I have to think that the state politics and taxes have to be more resident-friendly.
Congrats again!
I've been to Colorado three times now (twice for work conferences, once for my interview last week,) and it is beautiful. That came up in the first phone interview - how could I even think about leaving Washington? Uh, Colorado is pretty spectacular itself!
Cost of living is significantly lower than where, housing is about HALF of what King County is priced at, and everything is a lot closer. I'm eyeballing areas to live in that look far away, but are only about a 20 minute (8 mile) drive. I won't even have time to drink my coffee before I get to work!

Originally posted by mhatchett View PostSounds great, well done and good luck!!
Originally posted by Dave1442397 View PostCongrats on the new job. It's a pity about the lack of diving opportunities, but CO seems like a nice place to live.
We had a lot of layoffs last month, and rumor has it that another big one is coming next week. At least the job market is better than last time I was looking.
Colorado looks great - but it's not like I've been diving recently (getting older and fatter sucks!)
Layoffs are the worst because you're always waiting for the second shoe to fall. That's how it is here - there's this overwhelming feeling of unease and we're just waiting for something else to happen. Makes morale pretty bad, and as a manager here, it's hard keeping my team positive when nothing good is on the horizon.
