Sunshine on a cloudy day

I am feeling pretty good today. I think I may have a job. I have felt a little lost without a job.

It's funny ... when I first started working, I resisted labeling myself as an engineer. I would instead say I worked as an engineer. But, inside, I always thought "I'm more than that ... at least I think I must be." Even then I didn't want my work identity to be my true identity -- it was just supposed to be one of the many hats I knew how to wear. But some place along the line, it became most of who I am.

Deciding who you are is kind of hard when you don't have kids. When you have kids, you already know who you are (and the flip side, which is why you are here). But without kids and without a job, the question can loom large. I'm just glad I may be getting a job.

Funny that I may have missed a chance again (3rd time) to work for Google, but timing is everything, and Virtensys is a darned cool company (and local).
