I’m no longer an unemployed bum, I’ve accepted a position at the Fred Hutchinson Center for Cancer Research (http://fhcrc.org/) in Seattle, WA.

It’s located on the Southern tip of Lake Union (http://fhcrc.org/visitor/maps/)

I’m not sure of the exact title, I think it’s something like “Systems Analyst Programmer III” or something like that. I’ll be responsible for defining the Database model and creating the User Interfaces in ASP.NET as well as performing some client-facing functions like requirements gathering in Seattle and possibly some in New York. It also sounds like I’ll be working on the Data Pipeline to pull in and massage data from patient records and research data.

I start on the 28th and my benefits start on May 1st. Anyone know of a good moving company in Santa Fe?

Now would the consultant in this article be considered a smart-ass or a dumb-ass?

My vote is on dumb-ass, trying to invoice the US or state government for jury duty is pretty assinine.
