Microsoft → One Year!
Wow. Today marks my one-year anniversary at Microsoft. Things are still a little surreal, as those of you who know me can imagine. I’ve spent most of my life as an Apple and *nix bigot, and I still use those systems on a daily basis, but after being here for a year I’ve gotten a lot less religious. Are you sitting down? I really and truly believe that Win7 is shaping up to be a solid OS. There, I said it. I’ll still run OS X at home though. 😉
So what has happened in the past year? Just the important stuff:
- I gained my Freshman Fifteen (and then some)
- I’m starting to go gray
- I made it an entire year without one of these wags sending a joke email from my machine
I also learned that there are 53 1/3 Peeps in a pound. (It’s traditional to bring in a pound of goodies for every year of service on your anniversary date and M&Ms seemed too dense to go around.)
It’s been challenging, interesting, and eye-opening. I hope they keep me around a while longer, it feels like I’m finally getting the hang of the place!
