It really did work out
I did some nostalgia surfing today. People I used to know, places I worked, even googled myself for the first time in a while. And while most of the people I looked for weren’t findable (the curse of common names, I suppose), I ran across a few I didn’t expect.
Like the fellow I worked with who is now an instructor at a branch of a state college, with one of the most hideous web pages in existence. Animations, distracting backgrounds, poor color choices, out-of-date C.V….
And the guy who I worked with when I was a neophyte engineer is now a factory manager — I think. It’s hard to tell, it was a chamber of commerce listing. I once thought I’d like to be a factory manager, but it’s best for all concerned that I didn’t become one.
The best best part? I’m reminded that I didn’t really like the work I was doing, didn’t care much for the company I was working for, though of course, most of the people were a hoot, and am really better off having left (though much poorer).
A successful morning, I’d say.
