Out of school and back to work

It's been a very busy past few days. Graduation wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be, mainly because we sat behind the Math and CS professors and just screwed around the entire time. Also, as I hoped Dr. Murray recognized me when he handed my diploma and we talked briefly. That was nice; after all those meetings for the his project it would have been a real bummer if he just blanked on me.

The party afterwards was also nice too; the family behaved themselves and I did my best to stay sociable. The only drag on it was having to rush home right after graduation to have it.

Leaving the next day so I could start work was kind of rough as well, but so far work looks like it's going to be really cool. I can't really say much about what I'll be doing (and you guys wouldn't be interested in hearing it anyway), but it's a pretty sweet project. Needless to say I'm much more interested in it than I was in my z/OS stuff last year. Plus we've got all but one team member on site now and we are all getting along very well. We've haven't been able to get into much technical stuff yet, so I can't really evaluate how well we will do in that area, but it looks like we should at least be a good team, which is a very good start.
