After 8 years (!) at PA.net, I've moved to PA Online, where I'm the new general manager. This just means I get to try to use what I learned in Penn State's MBA program, which I just finished (they swear my diploma's in the mail). And that any address @pa.net or @ctinetworks.com that you have for me won't work anymore.

Moving into a new role in a new firm stresses me out. I'm taking over the day-to-day operations of PA Online, while learning how their network functions. The best part is that there's a particularly capable junior admin at PA Online, so the administration work is me just getting up to speed. But, it still means 8 hours a day goes toward operations and 5-8 more hours per day goes toward network operations.
