Long Time No Post.
SO...
A lot has happened in the last few weeks. I've taken a temporary job downtown--unbelievable! I work in a big office building on floor 27 doing fixes on a huge web site. There are some issues with it and getting it to work for the folks that hired me, and I seem to be helping out.
Crazy. I never would have guessed that after 12 years I could just walk into an office, sit down, get on a computer, and be the hero.
I have four more weeks, after which I may or may not be hired permanently. I had to buy office clothes.
God help me.
Now, I haven't been shopping for this kind of stuff in a long time and I'm not real sure if I did very well. And I don't really understand "Casual Friday" because I still can't wear whatever I want. Khakis and a nice shirt, yes. Clam diggers and a tunic? No. And no sandals. Bummer.
I enjoy the work. It's challenging, and a great culmination of what I learned on my own since 1998 building web sites. The people I work with couldn't be nicer. Just nice nice. And very complimentary.
I still can't believe somebody hired me without having anyone to call for a reference. No matter what happens with this job, I know I'll come away with a glowing recommendation, which is great, because it is a very prestigious firm.
Not much else to say, except that it's going much better than I could have ever guessed.
