I’m fortunate.
I’m fortunate because I love what I do, how I do it, where and with whom I do it. I’m talking about my job. Over the years I’ve been blogging and podcasting I’ve been rather tight lipped about exactly what I do, and for whom.
As I get older I’m getting a bit more lax about that. What I do is computer programming, and specifically web development.
Lately I just really appreciate it. I’m paid to play with toys all day long. Granted, sometimes that play can involve frustrations. Sometimes what I’m building is just stupid or Them What Asked Me To Make It™️ haven’t truly thought it through. Sometimes you spend hours figuring out that variableName and VariableName aren’t the same damn thing.
But all that nonwithstanding, this is a great gig. My company is really good to me. The work is meaningful. And my coworkers are a delight. They’re a bunch of clever, hard working, and very silly people.
I’m grateful I get to do this work. That’s not a small thing.
