Update:

My boss and my project manager put out feelers to get me some more work. Considering my specialized skills I thought this might be difficult. Nope. The head of another team on my project wants me ASAP. I start on the new team on Monday in a different building.

I'll be on a team that writes SQL for other teams that are strapped for time. This is right up my ally as I was my team's resident DB2/SQL expert. One of the things I do well is I'm able to print out data models and figure out how to get the data needed efficiently (it's been a large part of my job for the past six years).

One bonus is that my wife and I will now be in the same building and can carpool again. My commute has also gone from 2.5 miles to .75 miles. If it weren't so damn cold, I'd probably walk.

I'm technically on loan and I'm expected to resume my work when Release 2 and 3 work starts up again. It looks like that won't happen until June at the earliest. I'll have desks in two buildings for awhile, though I'm expected to be at the new building most of my time.

I'm excited. I hope this will prove challenging.
