You know, I am the consummate optimist – trying to keep things in perspective but somehow I feel like I got screwed at work. The only real saving grace is that I tried the managerial path and always despised being a manager. What gets me going in the morning is the prospect of learning lots of new things. It’s what I like about technology, specifically computers. Now I know that I could have chosen the management route, sold my soul, made money and hated my life. However, I chose the technical route and decided to keep my roots fully immersed in software administration and technology. My happy place. It’s not programming – boring. It’s not database administration – also boring. It’s not OS BS – again, also boring. It’s not hardware – lame plus boring. It’s a smattering of all of those plus a “side” of application administration! And, I get the added benefit of Moore’s Law applied to technology – it doubles every 18 – 24 months at this point. Change is good.
Ah, the therapy of writing…
