I have been with Intel at the Oregon sites as a tech doing technology development work for 25 years. I decided it was about time to see what production was like. The transfer is from Oregon to AZ and then temporarily back to Oregon so I will be a bit mobile for a while. The promotion doesn't hurt either. I shouldn't be in the fab down there very much. I'm an automation guy and do all my work remotely from my desk or home.
I will be making various trips for house hunting, training and so forth. When I do come down I'll let you know. Maybe you can show me the areas to avoid and perhaps a favorite lake or two. I'll buy the refreshments. This goes for anyone else who helps me make the right choice.
