It’s hot enough, I’ll be unemployed at 5pm, and it’s Friday…

… so, I think I’ll go home during my lunch break and make some Guinness Popsicles (for consumption after work of course).

Yup, today is my last day working at George Fox University who contractually, forbids its employees and undergraduate students to drink alcoholic beverages.

In about a week, I’ll begin my new career at Stockamp and Associates, who recently hired me to be their newest associate in their “Corporate Applications” team. I’ll still be writing code, but now it will be on Windows servers in VB, ASP, and Microsoft SQL. I’m looking forward to the change, but I’ll definitely miss a few elements of the job I loved for almost three years. I often said, “I can’t believe they pay me to do this! I work with awesome people and write php code all day.”

Top 10 things I’ll miss about working at GFU

10. my window seat. (I will be moving into my very own cubicle)
9. Walks to the Cottage for my “giant mocha with whip”
8. noon hoops
7. TV/movie theme song of the day
6. my 10-minute walking commute (0.67 miles)
5. prayer before meetings
4. discussions with the Gentle Philosopher
3. 10+ non-work related phone calls from Brendon and/or Peter
2. walking home for lunch
1. my family at work (including all, but not limited to the people on this page)
