After an extensive interview process that had some scheduling issues that took a bit of time and coordination to work out I finally completed the process and received and accepted a new job offer. I will be retiring from AT&T and going to work at NorthwesternMutual. I am really excited about the new job. The environment is going to be a bit different than what I have been working on but the locations are local and I can split work from home with being in the office. I am looking forward to actually working with a team in person again.

Calibrating Weather Station
This Spring I received a Weather Station for my Birthday. It was something that I had wanted to do for some time and so far I am happy I did it. The Tempest Weather Station is a newer technology for Weather Stations as it has no moving parts. For the most part I have been very please with the Tempest and it has been fairly accurate with one exception. That exception is rainfall. The haptic rain sensor has been off by quite a bit according to the rain gauge that I have about 10 feet away. I am currently going through the process to have the station calibrated by the vendor to see if we can increase the accuracy. I hope so but even if the rain is not the most accurate, I have found the rest of the station to provide good data and I enjoy having it.

Interview Experience
Had an interview today and it was kind of a different experience because of Covid. I was on a Zoom call with an interview with members of the organization that I would be working in. The interview was a mixture of technical content along with getting to know more about me and how I might fit in with the company. I think it went well.
