Lorne's New Job

So for those of you who don't know - Lorne has a new job. He decided to start looking for jobs back in July when he felt unhappy at Oracle. He felt that they didn't value him enough for all he did and so he decided to move on.
I was fully supportive because since he spends so much time away from the house, he needed to actually enjoy what he was doing. He secured many interviews, second interviews and 3 offers. He chose to accept the offer from a company called RockBlocks that is located in Boston, MA.
The good news is that we don't have to move. We can stay here. Also, Lorne is now the Director of Sales and has a better salary and commission plan. The health insurance is also good (that was important to me).The bad news is that he still travels a lot for work and we miss him. But we will deal with it as long as he is happy and successful in his work. It is also fun for us to video conference with him on the computer the nights he is away. I think Jasmine finds it magical to talk to Daddy on the computer, although she hates it when we hang up!
For more details on what Lorne is actually selling in this new job, you'll have to ask him - I am still trying to figure it out!
