maleficent

While there are some days that make me want to rip my hair out and run screaming fromthe building... 97.5 percent of the time I love what I do, and 99 percent of that is because I love the people I work with. I have known most of them for more than 10 years, when I was working for a client of my company (liked the product so much I went to work for them) It's a small company, there are 15 of us, but there are times,when I've been in another time zone, and have gotten someone out of a nice warm bed, for an emergency. (One of my favorite programmers is a former Marine who did several tours in Vietnam, and he works under the philosophy, that you don't leave your buddies in the field) (I have been awoken from a sound slumber too, so turnabout is fair play.

The people I work with all have pretty similar personality types, the majority of us are a little hotheaded, and can, and have had screaming matches with one another about various things, but, once the dust clears, we go get coffee, and it's forgotten because deep down we like one another.

the work is challenging on some days, I like the products we make.

I hate air travel in the summer, and this is shaping up to be the worst summer on record for delays, I'm averaging so far about 3 hours a week in delays, but in the long run, it's worth it.

I like my job.
