Where I've Been
You know what’s ridiculous? That I haven’t even considered writing anything here for the past two weeks.
As expected, I’ve been working for almost two full weeks now. Adjusting to the routine of coming into the office every day has been surprisingly easy, probably because this is how I’ve spent each of the past three summers. We’ll see how I hold up once August rolls around and I’m not on my way back to Harrisonburg.
My first few projects haven’t been anything terribly exciting; in fact, most of my energies right now are focused on forcing Excel do things for which it was not designed (i.e. behave like a database). The nice thing about being here full time from now on is that I’ll eventually be able to throw out the bad kludges that don’t work quite right and redesign from the ground up without having to worry about the hard deadline of going back to school.
Another nice thing about being here full time is the paycheck: I got my first yesterday.

Congratulations on what sounds like a great situation. I, somehow, have managed to avoid any job commitment that doesn’t have a definite deadline… at least until 2007, actually. I’m not sure whether to be proud or envious.
