Dynamic Beginnings

dy·nam·ic [dahy-nam-ik]
     adjective Also, dy·nam·i·cal.
1. pertaining to or characterized by energy or effective action;vigorously active or forceful; 
    energetic: the dynamic president of the firm.

2. Physics .
    a. of or pertaining to force or power.
    b.of or pertaining to force related to motion. 

For me the word dynamic means change. Often in a chaotic manner but with positive direction. 2011 will be remembered as a year of movement physically, emotionally, geographically and personally. This, hopefully, won't bite me in the butt... but last week brought about the final dynamic event for 2011 with a formal job offer from Dynamic Controls. I've been working there under short term contract for 12 weeks doing hardware/software verification and testing for their powered vehicle [scooter and mobility chair] controller platforms.

Last week they offered me a position as a product improvement engineer (mechanical) on the quality assurance team. The role has a very broad responsibility base and will range from legacy support to skunkworks testing with the broad goal to increase, you guessed it, quality. I am excited, as the role will mirror the dynamic (last time, I promise) aspect that made working at BetaPro so great. Having new-fresh-interesting-challenging projects to work on will keep me interested, focused and constantly learning. The position pays well (enough), has benefits, 20 days of paid holiday a year and the company seems to be moving into some new/interesting directions with new medical products like the iPortal system.

The ticking clock in the back of my mind and steady dribble from the $aving$ has been replaced with a big sigh of relief and a feeling that New Zealand can become more than an extreme holiday experience.
