This past week it became official that I am leaving the engineering department and moving into intermodal pricing. I have spent the past 4 years in engineering, and really never imagined myself working in any other department at JB Hunt. It just seemed like the correct move to make right now. It is very bittersweet for me. I loved my time in engineering, and I will really miss the group of people I worked with. However, I was getting a little burnt-out on the work, and I needed something to mix it up for a while. It will be interesting for me to experience the business side of corporate America. It will be a really good experience for me, and help me to learn where I want my long-term career path to go. This past week also marked my 4 year anniversary of starting at JB Hunt and moving to Arkansas. It doesn't seem possible that I have been here for 4 years. Yet part of me feels that I have been here much longer. It is hard to imagine living anywhere else right now, we are both really happy here. I really don't know what the future holds for us, but I have a feeling we will be spending a bit more time here in the mid-south.
