Yeah... I know about counting my chickens before the eggs have hatched but I've already signed the whole hiring package and confirmed my benefits (I don't get my BlackBerry till I actually start though...)
This past week was a major hurdle for RIM with the patent lawsuits so my fears of RIM being "sued into oblivion" have been seriously lessened. Until last weeks news announcement about the workaround RIM is implementing I has some big reservations about going to work for them. I can stack those concerns on top of the fact that IBM has announced they intend to return some of their local services to smaller contractors made me not so interested in the IBM position.
My wife is ecstatic that I don't start for three weeks. She's already drafted a list of things around the house she expects me to finish before I start. I guess my plans of sitting around, surfing the web, playing video games and watching anime don't line up with spousal duties.
