I'm in the middle of my first week at Smiths. So far it has been pretty unglamorous, involving reading a bunch of acronym-filled technical documents. A lot like grad school that way really, but with less equations and more coffee. The plan is to ease into more programming-related stuff once I’ve learned the ropes, since the project is gigantic.
I recently accepted a position at Smiths Aerospace. HUGOMORE42 It will mean a bit of a commute for a while, but they're on the east side of Grand Rapids so it's not too bad. I think we'll be looking to move closer eventually. The job will involve working on some of the programs inside a component of C-130’s. For a majority of the last five years I’ve been working with databases and web programming, and a good portion of that was healthcare-related.
Pictures should now be up of Aaron's birthday and of this Saturday's poker game. HUGOMORE42 Also, our webspace was rapidly filling, so we had to reduce the size of the pictures. Some of the older albums are now archived too. Thanks to everybody who came for poker night. It was a lot of fun. Gonzo and Mark were well ahead when we stopped playing, so congratulations guys. Everybody else, you know who to aim for next time :)
Here's an update as to what's going on with us at the moment...
HUGOMORE42
Having graduated in December, I'm still looking around for a job. I applied to several places, and I'm working through the process and waiting to hear back. In the meantime I'm finishing up some projects with the Geography Department at MSU, and trying to make sure the handoff to other programmers goes smoothly.
