New Job

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Tomorrow I start my new job as a XHTML/PHP Developer for a local company. While I don’t want to give any details about what/where/who it is (in fear of getting Dooced), I will say I am very excited/apprehensive. The summer before my senior year of college I am starting a job that has the potential to set me off on the rest of my life (life after school, that is). Well, that and the fact that for some reason I get very nervous driving to unknown places for the first time, and they are moving to a place that in my head is a terrible place to drive (not NYC). That will subside in time. I am more concerned with “Will I be good enough?” But I suppose they would have not hired me if I weren’t.

I will less than likely write about work for the aforementioned concerns, but I will say what I can when I can. As for now, wish me luck on my first day as a psudo-real person! Later.
