Long time, no update

I don't often have a lot to talk about and things have been a bit busier than usual with work, so I've kind of fallen out of the habit. However, I got very big news yesterday and wanted to write it down

Sounds like a really great career move and a fun time rolled into one. And yes, you'll miss Dinah but you know that she's warm, safe and loved.

I can hear cars slipping and sliding from my window, some people have no sense in good weather - let alone bad.

People are so stupid sometimes. Fortunately, though, traffic wasn't as heavy as usual because a lot of people stayed home.

The trip does sound like a great experience. It's the kind of thing a senior course developer should do. And I've never actually been outside of Michigan for more than a couple of weeks, so that will be new.

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I'm glad your boss took your request seriously, not all do.

I've got a pretty good boss. There aren't a lot of people in our group, so we don't tend to get lost in the shuffle. Other things my boss has done in recent months: told his boss that our success in getting our project done early was due largely to my efforts; bought me and my other direct co-worker a Bath and Body Works gift card (on top of our standard office gift swap) because he thinks our company doesn't give us year-end prezzies and he thinks they should.

I think he's swell!

Thanks! Right now, I'm just crazy. I think excited comes later. I was told that the project that was supposed to keep me busy until 6:00 wouldn't have any work to do, after all, but then a couple of hours later, there suddenly was work to do. Our office is a bit insane right now. (Major software release.)

Thanks! I'm a little nervous, but I think it will be a great opportunity.

OMG, that's so awesome! I'm so happy for and proud of you!

Thanks! Considering how uncertain everything is in Michigan right now, this kind of experience is very good for me. (I just wish I knew people in SLC.)
