SWF It Good

It’s official, starting December 13th I will be an employee of Travelocity. My official title is Web Design Contributor but I will be working alongside the flash team working on upcoming projects. It’s exciting, I’ve always been “The Flash Guy” now I can be one of the flash guys. This is an opportunity to learn and collaborate in a way I have never been able to do. I’ve been teaching myself for the past 2 yrs.
Here is the sad news I have to leave my current job at Eisenberg And Associates. I will have only been there a year on Dec. 3rd. I am in shock. The offering of my new job and the offering of mine last year is almost to the day. I am very grateful for the job I have had. Last year I didn’t get Flex completely and all I could do in ActionScript 3 was make clickable boxes and some other stuff.
Because I was the flash guy at my current job, I was able to build up my knowledge to where now I build only in Flash CS3/AS3/Flex w/ OOP. I had no one to say, “What about the people who have flash player 6″. My thought is they don’t want to see flash anyway if it’s that old, forget them. I had that liberty. That helped build up my skills a lot and helped me get the Travelocity gig.

I enjoy all the people at my current job. I will miss them and getting Eisenstein’s in the morning and being able to walk to work. But sometimes you have to move on. If we didn’t, some of us would be still living with our parents. It’s not that you hate your parents, just another chapter.

So if any Eisneberger’s are reading this…I wish you all the best.

Travelocity here I come.

P.S. I’m working on an Advanced ColorPicker Component for Flash CS3 that I think would be good for the Automotive industry.

P.S.S There’s an opening at Eisenberg’s for a Flash Developer. You can develop how ever you want. I was strictly AS3 and such. For more info post a comment. This is a Dallas Job.
