When we first bought our house, the kitchen was unusable. For quite a while we had a fridge full of Hot Pockets and a microwave. I'll never eat another hot pocket again.
The first renovation was a get something in cheap and quick. It worked, but just didn't have that finished feel to it. So last winter we bought some IKEA cabinets on eBay, and this is the fruit of our labor.
Still some work to do, but for the most part we're very happy with the results.
So I was at Sprint for 6 months, I tried to post something about it here, but was asked by my manager the next day to take it down. Creepy, eh? Anyway, my contract was up for extension, and it went down something like this.
I was told I'd be extended, cool. We were told all the projects were cancelled, great. We were told no contractors would be extended, super. I found another job, nice. Just a couple days before my last day I was told the project where re-instated, and asked if I wanted to stay, totally awesome.
I might have considered staying, but I just happened to find one of the coolest places to work in KC. Secure Passage writes Firewall Monitoring software. They've got a mix of technologies, but it seems like the main direction is to move towards Java.
Anyway, it's a small shop, about 7 developers. It's very much a get things done type of atomosphere, which I miss from the good ole Bensoft days. And best of all I get to dress casual all week. Woohoo!
I've been here for about a month. So far I'm having lots of fun.
