New Assignment
I'm psyched. As you may know, I'm in my first of two year-long rotations as a college recruit at Microsoft. I'm finishing up this first rotation (in People & Organization Capability -- a very exciting corporate HR group) at the end of July and moving on to my next role, which I just found out will be in an HR Business Partner (i.e., HR generalist) role in the Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. I'm excited; this was my first choice for my next role! I've always been a gadget geek wannabe, so I'm excited about supporting that business -- also because it's a dynamic and startup-like environment where Microsoft is, in most cases, the underdog competing heavily for market position in some hot spaces (e.g., console and PC games, digital audio/photo/video, mobile devices, etc.). They're also carving out new spaces, as with Surface.

uh...wannabe? ;) Anway, I was just explaining to the hubby about what you are doing and he said: "whoa, that's pretty freakin cool!" And I must say, Surface sounds dang cool, too!
We just had some MS dudes out at a corporate hack day. They hacked our system and demo'd the Surface doing a passenger management systems for American Airlines. Pretty cool and efficient. Our CEO was impressed.
kj - Wannabe in that I'm too cheap to lay out the money for all the gadgets I want! ;)
texas hanson - Did you get to "play" with the Surface at all? Pretty cool, huh?
Nah, the line of interested individuals was too long. Never had the opportunity. Looked really cool though.
Hi Jason,
You said hello and introduced yourself at church to me a couple weeks ago. Your blog just came up on my Google Alert for Maple Valley, so I thought I would check it out. Anyways, I have a brother in law who might be in that group you are in, so that would be kinda cool... hope you get lots of good gadgets to demo!
Best wishes!
