Logical Andy gate

Listening to: Chelsea Hotel By Leonard Cohen

Well, here I am again at the threshold of a new job. Tomorrow is my last day at iBahn, and as I look back on the past year, I have come to a number of conclusions and discoveries.

Numero Uno: Work to live, live to play

With work comes Money and with money comes fun. But, you have to remember to give yourself breaks to get out and enjoy the finer things in life. if you get stuck in a job that doesn't give you much free time you need to analyze if this is really what you want to do. Money is not worth it if you cannot live.

Number Zwei: Never back down to a good challenge.

This is what drives ingenuity and sparks creative thinking. I have been lucky to have been placed into a place where i was challenged on a regular basis, and I think I proven myself under some very stressful conditions.

Number 00000011: Documentation IS important.

I cannot remember how many times I wrote code too late and too sloppy to be readable in the clear light of day. I finally learned how important it is to write at least a few comments on what I have done and where I left off. became very sick of re-writing code because I couldn't figure out just what in the hell I was trying to do. :)


The most important thing I have learned though, is never let a job suck your soul. No money is worth being a slave to a corporation. Freedom is paramount to a successful life.


Cheers
