I dunno how this ever worked out, but I’m kinda excited (again) about my job. Recently it had been getting a bit boring with the same old “user says this is broken and thinks is our fault, but in reality is someone else’s fault (and someone else’s job to fix)” type work… I had been a receptionist for technical problems “thank you for calling, what kind of problem are you reporting? oh really? that’s probably X’s issue, one second and i’ll transfer the ticket to them”. But Friday, that changed again (slightly). I still do the above items and I’m still doing some other frustrating work.. but I also just had a project approved that I wanted to do. The project opens doors for automating MANY things in the department and also will bring some previous projects of mine back to life and give me some fun things to work on and program.
Let the fun begin.
Nothing new for those who know me.. age and all is slowly catching up. It’s amusing in some ways since I’ve always felt that I was just a big kid.. but sometimes I wake up and realize.. I’m not, at least not as far as my body is concerned. First kidney stones, then sciatic nerve, using glasses occasionally, lack of ability to pull and all-nighter as easilly, additional dental work and realizing that I, like many others getting older, have a medicine cabinet with an assortment of medications. It’s kinda freaky.. I keep having to remind my body “no, you’re only 30, you don’t need to have those problems yet” - sometimes it listens. Not really complaining, it could be worse.. (lots worse).. but it’s still a shock when you realize you’ve changed. Next thing you know I’ll be loosing hair, have arthritis, need a walking cane and looking for dentures. Just waiting for 31.. Imagine how 32, 38, 40! will be - I’ll be older than dirt before I know it!
Ok, probably not anytime soon.. in reality, I don’t feel nearly as old and such as it appears above, just wanted something to look back on in 10 years (yes, these posts will still be here then) and laugh at what made me cringe back when I was 30. Just wait until we have kids, then we’ll see how old I really feel
