My boss reads my website. He commented on my lack of posts regarding work. So, here we go!

I have a great job. I truly, truly, love it (by the way this doesn't mean I don't want a raise, boss!). I was an intern at Sun back in 1996. I thought it went badly, but was offered a job when I returned to school, even though I had a year left to complete me degree. I've been here for over seven years, and have never worked anywhere else. Some might say that that doesn't give me a point of view for the way other companies work. I look at it positively that what I have is great. This company affords me the flexibility to work long hours or short hours, depending on the need, and I can take care of my little one.

The question is: what do I do? I assist in the design of computers. All computers emit radio waves, and I help make sure that our computers are bad radios. I've very proud of my work. First, I've helped design some amazing machines:

Second, I get to help educate and provide design guidelines for the next generation of products. Yes, I’m a geek, but dang that’s great.  Look, I help make the most amazing computers on earth. For a lot of cell phone providers, when you make a call, it’s on our machines. A lot of on-line business commerce? Our machines. Pardon my arrogance, but my brain works for these kinds of things. I’m good at it. I constantly want to learn new concepts, and create them.

Then again, I’d like a raise (hint, hint). 

Helping design the future.
