Not Jobless Anymore

I just picked up my offer letter from HSBC Asset Management yesterday, for the position of Executive - Web Design.

I still get to continue doing my freelance projects as I was, though an immediate slow-down is inevitable. I've been doing it for more than two years now, and simply quitting would be impossible.

I am still to settle down at the new job with the new work timings (I'll actually have to get up in the morning), new bunch of work-related problems (for starters, I'll have to make an hour long train commute to work everyday) and new dress code (I understand I can't code in my underwear anymore). I start the routine on Monday.

I hope this means that I'll get a lot more time at hand to do more reading (my feed reader indicates that I have more than 4000 unread items in my box), and writing (and you thought I had plans to wrap up this blog soon). I will also hopefully get more material on and exposure to real-world web-based issues.

Anyway, for now, it's time for celebrations. Time for hitting that bottle of beer. Again. After all, it's a new excuse.
