I just came out of a little self-imposed cave, and decided that I was no longer afraid of blogging.
I also want to let you know that I got a cool new job in January this year, and I'm still with the same gigantic corporation. When my new boss went on leave to have her second baby in March, I also got to take over part of her role (IT Manager for this particular department) for over 5 months. Then I went on my vacation, and came back to my old, cool new job, which is even better because now I realize how nice it is to not be responsible for all IT-related things.
The best things about my cool new job are that I am doing almost exactly what I went to grad school to do, and I am doing it for the real movers and shakers in the corporation - the people who negotiate the big deals, manage the divestiture projects, and make the decisions about mergers. I can't blog about any details, or any other interesting nuggets, though I will say that I knew about the my company's activities in Kurdistan well before any of it was announced.
It is an incredible job, and I get an amazing view of how the gears of the economy run. Since I wanted to make this a brief post, I'll end here, with a quote from a recent Morrissey song that I think sums up my own experience too (just the part quoted here, the whole song is more appropriate for Morrissey's life than mine).
I was a small fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just handed it to me - whoopee!

That's awesome, Urs! Jmo's post on FB today made me remember 17 Bottles and wonder if it was still alive. It is! Sort of, anyways.
Great! You have realized your dream job. There is nothing more fulfilling than doing what you love most. I wouldn't be shocked if the next time I read your blog, you have become one of the indispensible assets of the company and you are making a name for yourself in the industry.
