Whahoooo! Tonight was the first GCC speech meeting I've attended since graduating. I got to see my old teammates and see a lot of potential new competitors. It look like it will be a very good year for the speech team. The team advisors are heavily involved and trying to make the team a success, and the captains of the speech categories are the cream of the crop - it's going to be a great year! But that's only 1/4 of my excitement!
But as exciting as that is there is still another 1/4 of excitement about to be announced....... I have a job! A fairly serious job from what I understand. I'm programming for a company in Florida, upgrading their system from dos and C to MFC and c++. It look like it will be a very long, involved job. At the moment, I'm the first person hired to start the job, and it looks like I'll be working alone by myself for a few weeks, or even a month or two! I know someone is slated to start in December, so I'll have a teammate then, but I'll be the head programmer for a new branch office in Grove City.
I am in the enviable position of choosing my own working hours, working from home, having a free hand in how I do what I'm supposed to do, and possibly managing a large project.
I will have to admit though, that most of this is only because the Florida business hasn't opened up a business or hired other programmers. When a new office opens up and other workers come, I won't work from home, I'll have less freedom, and be more constrained in my working hours - but what do you expect - usually only high powered programmers have the freedom I have - if only for a month!
Can you tell I'm excited! I get to do what I want (though limited) and still have a job that is just what I've been looking for!
Oops. It's gotten late on me. The other 1/2 of my excitement? Having a family to support me as I grow through life and friends I can trust during my journey! Praise the Lord for all four fourths of happiness he has given me!
