Turning my life around

Since I was born, my whole life has been a journey in the Southwestward direction: Uppsala -> Örebro -> Kumla -> Boston - Philadelphia -> Scottsdale.

My permanent residences - moing from the Northeast to the Southwest

Until now. After 12 years working at Synygy I've decided that it's time to move on. Friday is my last day in the office so the countdown is nearing its end. I've accepted a position in the Boston area working for Sunovion - a pharmaceutical company best known in the US for Lunesta (a prescription sleep aid) as well as a few asthma/respiratory condition inhalers. I'll be Assistant Director, Sales Compensation, which means I'll be supporting the sales force with incentive plan design, quota setting, etc. Similar to what Synygy does, but this time full-time internally at a company.

So, I'll be reversing course and moving back to Boston in November. I am really looking forward to it, even though it means a return to a colder climate which, as most of you know, for which I may occasionally have shown some bursts of derision in the past. All joking aside, I really liked Boston during my five college years there and I'm very happy to return. I'll be going out there next week to find an apartment - I'll be back with more details when I have them.
